similar to: . (dot) in maildir folder names

Since I am using dovecot I do not have courier installed, but Courier had a very handy tool for making maildir folders called `maildirmake` which I used in some automated backup scripts. How do I duplicate maildirmake in dovecot? for example: #!/bin/bash # v1.2a Testing for new dovecot install # Archive mail from folders without [0-9]{4} Maildirs # after they are 21 days old to a yearly folder

Dear All, Is it possible to make quota rules under $HOME/Maildir/* mailboxes with a specific command such as 'edquota' when the first email arrives at the $HOME/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp} of a user. In the below example, the <UserB> is the one who gets an email for the first time. edquota -p <UserA> <UserB> ---man edquot--- -p, --prototype=protoname Duplicate the

Hi, I'm coming from courier-imap and i'm trying to migrate to dovecot. I can't find how to create a maildir with a quota file(maildirsize) I saw that if there was a maildirsize it would get its quota from there but can't find how to create that file. I'm using pam auth and would like to set different quotas for each users. With courier-imap there is a useful command :

Does dovecot support shared folders, maildir style? I've set it up, using the maildirmake from debian maildrop to create folders. I have a number of as-yet unresolved issues, so I haven't been able to test with many clients. It's interesting that dovecot manages to present folders as siblings (rather than children) of INBOX. But mutt, at least, doesn't seem to see the shared

Hi! My plea to readers: =================== Pls., people who only want strictly technical issues to read, and frown at any broader context regardless how intrinsically related, but not strictly technically related, it might be, skip all the way, all the way to, search for exact words: "strictly technical" or visually, find two lines of sole "===" characters. Thank you!

I have 3 servers running dovecot 1.0.10. 2 of them are configured with a shared/public namespace, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on the third, even with 2 working examples to go by. There's something I'm missing, and I'm hoping that someone here can see/tell what it is. I've created the maildir for sharing: # cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com # maildirmake

It is possibile to call maildirmake at login-time? My final goal is to create maildir at login time (like courier-imapd) or at least to create .INBOX.Trash, .INBOX.Drafts, .INBOX.Sent dir for virtual user /home/vmail/domains/$virtual_domain/$virtual_user/ .... with already exsistant Maildir (created by postfix) Thanks in advance

Hi, I have only recently become aware of Dovecot and gave it a try. The previous 0.99.9.1 version didn't work well for me (OpenSSL), I dropped it, but 0.99.10 has come just in time (saw it on freshmeat) and I thought I'd give it another try if it promised SSL fixes, and it's sorta working for me (i. e. it works with mutt, Mozilla, sylpheed, but not cone -- but cone is beta and has SSL

hi all, i'm moving from a maildrop+courier setup to lda(sieve)+dovecot setup. with maildrop i had a global filter for all the users, so i could filter and archive into the spam folder spam tagged emails for users without custom filters, including them if they exist: LOGNAME=tolower($LOGNAME) `test -e $LOGNAME` if ( $RETURNCODE != 0 ) { `maildirmake $LOGNAME` `maildirmake

Dear All, We would like to migrate our existing courier to dovecot. After reading document on website and doing some tests, here are some issues we met. 1. According the the wiki, it seems to imply that once migrating from courier to dovecot, pop3 users may "lost/forget" their download "index/ history" which cause them to download again old mails that are kept on

Hi: I am using dovecot since the first day on my server (so I have no other mailbox formats). I can't create any subfolders under any IMAP folders. Is this still an issue of dovecot? In mozilla, the operation is simply ignored. With outlook, you can't even click "Accept" if you select to create a subfolder, rather than a top level folder. I have Fedora Core 1, and

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that

Hello I'm dovecot bigginer from courier-imap. I used shared maildir in courier like this. 1) create maildir # maildirmake -S /home/shared 2) create maildirshared file # echo 'SHARE /home/shared ' > /etc/courier/maildirshared (use tabcode) 3) edit imapd config file IMAP_UMASK=022 IMAP_SHAREDINDEXFILE=/etc/courier/shared/index in courier, only 3 step. I read wiki

Hello, I'm running debain on my machine with postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot installed. Everything works fine and I'm able to access my mail via squirrelmail and via Outlook with imap. However I want to create subfolders what is not possible. After reading I discovered that I use mbox and that maildir is needed in order to be able to use subfolders. I have created a Maildir folder with

Hi, I'm still figthing with passwd-file, virtual users and permissions. I have created the directory /var/spool/virtual/test and inside I've done a "maildirmake Maildir". I have a couple of questions : I use the same passwd-file for auth_userdb and as auth_passdb. 1) What program can I use to create the userdb file ? What I do now is to use the htpasswd program and then I

Hello, we're operating dovecot on a small server. Some years ago, we migrated from courier IMAP to dovecot. Therefore, we defined our default Namespace "inbox" with prefix "INBOX." to have this compatible. I found this in some migration docs those days. Generally, everything worked as expected. Our only namespace is configured like this: namespace inbox { separator = .

Hi all, this is my first post to the list and sorry for my english. I have a mail server based on qmail+dovecot+ldap with virtualdomains and maildir stored in /var/vmail/<DOMAIN>/<USERNAME>/Maildir. When I create a user on LDAP I don't create maildir too. So if I log-in with dovecot (143,110) I hope dovecot creates maildir for users but this is not I get: maildir are not
