similar to: doveadm altmove to gzipped-mdbox

Hi all, I have some questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and compression. I already scanned the list for related information and I have an idea of how things works, but I would like to have a definite answer. System spec: - CentOS 6.6 x64 - dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4.x86_64 RPM package/version - sdbox mail store 1) About hardlinks: when sending the same message to two different

Hello We are using Dovecot 2.0.17 with mdbox+zlib and we are evaluating alternative storage. These are the relevant settings mdbox_rotate_interval = 1d mdbox_rotate_size=60m [...] zlib_save_level = 9 # 1..9 zlib_save = gz # or bz2 [...] zlib plugin enabled in dovecot-lda These are my questions: 1? General mdbox question. We are happy usings zlib_save, but we would like to try bzip2

Hello, I have some trouble using "doveadm altmove -r". Regular "doveadm altmove" is OK, selected mails were moved to alternate storage as expected. But I can't manage to get them back to original location, "doveadm altmove -r" has no effect. We are using Dovecot 2.3.4 (Debian Buster package). mail_location =

Hi, Your problem might be similar to mine a long time ago. IMO behavior of "doveadm altmove -r" command with mdbox format is different to sdbox format: - With sdbox format, when you move back a message to primary storage (aka default storage), only the message and the file containing it are affected. There is nothing impacted. - With mdbox format, a file in storage contains

Hi there, there is the ubuntu version 2.0.13 ov dovecot installed on our server. But in contrast to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove the option -r isn't supported in this version. altmove: invalid option -- 'r' doveadm altmove [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <search query> In which version of dovecot is this option supported? Thanks Lars

Hello again. When I use doveadm altmove, I notice that it may result in some very small storage files in either the primary or the alternate storage location. I'm not quite sure, but it almost seems like every storage file that contains messages to be moved is simply split into two parts, even if a part might only contain a single message. This seems quite curious, since the idea of

dovecot 2.2.33.2 Ubuntu 18.04 I got strange file .temp.1592374672.P11164Q21M692534.hostname after doveadm altmove command in INBOX on alternate storage server What can I do with this file? Remove? I am using dbox regards

Hi all, any ideas? Especially point n.1 (no hardlink when sending the same email to multiple addresses) confuse me a bit. Searching in old messages I even stumbled on some users stating that, using Dovecot LMTP server, they achieved what I want (one messagge, multiple hardlinks), but I am _already_ using LMTP with no avail...

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the

No syslog/Output whatsoever. I tried running with -vvv -D

In some folders I have hundred of such files, but they really are hardlinks to the same .temp file (for each folder), so they do not consume

Hello, i tried to move mails to an alt storage with the following command: doveadm altmove -u user at domain.de mailbox Inbox After that, the imap process produces a core dump (files has not been moved): Maillog: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user at domain.de>, method=PLAIN, rip=X.X.X.X, lip=X.X.X.X, mpid=5393, TLS, session=<83JiHqNdTwCsEAIf> dovecot: imap(user at

Hi Javier, thanks for your reply. I already checked SIS and, while interesting, is not what I want, because: 1) it can be difficult to restore a single message/attachment from a backup 2) only the attachments, and not the entire messages, are deduped. Message-based hardlinks really exists for a reason. The good news is that I found _why_ they are not working: it depends from how dovecot and

is there a way to run this command but with exception to not delete the FLAGGED email? doveadm expunge -u user at email.com mailbox Inbox SENTBEFORE 90d -- Sent from: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/

I was thinking about documentation for alternate storage. We have a few mentions at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove But I was thinking it would be helpful if there could be a page about alternate storage. I could write the page, but I currently have so many unknowns that I think it would be
