Hi folks, I'm trying to migrate an old uw-imap server to dovecot, and running into puzzling (to me) permission problems. I've configured mail_location as follows: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u and each user's mail directory has permissions like this: drwx------ 2 uid gid 4096 Jul 5 09:26 /home/uid/mail But when I try to check a user's mail using

Hi everyone, I am planning to upgrade my current uw-imap to dovecot. I am using Linux (Redhat EL 4). The main purpose is to use maildir instead of mbox. For some reason, I don't want to upgrade all users' mail boxes all at a time, but I want to change the imap server first (to dovecot), while keeping all mbox files, then convert them to maildir user by user (one user at a time). My

First off I've just got to say thanks. We just upgraded from UW to Dovecot migrating from mbox to maildir. Wow, what a difference! Load average used to hang around 5.0 during business hours and could get up to 20+ on a bad day. Now we rarely break 1.0! I'm wondering if there's a way to keep track of the last time a user checked their email and whether they checked it using POP or

Hi, I'm trying to use imapsync to migrate my accounts and mailbox (mbox) of an server A (Postfix + Dovecot) to a Server B (Zimbra), without having to change user passwords on the server A, using a master user account. I'm using this paper http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers as guidance. The Dovecot server A, is not letting me authenticate. Follow the testing and debug

We are currently running dovecot-1.0.10 on Solaris 10 x86. Several users has noticed that they get different emails when using pop vs using IMAP. When I check a user's home directory, I find the following situation: /nfs/mail/1/1/hiro.11/mail/: drwx------ 6 176785 1000 512 Mar 21 07:53 . drwxr-xr-x 3 176785 1000 512 Feb 29 17:01 .. drwx------ 5 176785 1000

Hello, Currently our mail server is setup to use postfix and dovecot, which is fine except it is setup to use mbox format mail. That and procmail as we need to move to sieve but that is a different issue. I have searched until blue in the face and cannot find a 100% working solution that doesn't require alot of manual interaction to move the mail boxes from mbox to maildir. I have

I'm in the process of upgrading an old server which is running uw-imap to a new one running Dovecot. With the old machine, unfortunately, my users had the opportunity to store their e-mails in various locations. For example, some have their mail boxes stored in ~/mail/[various mbox files], others ALSO have a ~/mail/clients/[various mbox files] and yet others simply stored them in their

Hi, after migrating to a new hardware (which is soo soooo mutch faster than the old one) I start to think about migrating from mbox to maildir. I'v read some docs and wikies and some questions are unanswered or maybe I skip the answers: - Is it possible to migrate the mboxes "silent" e.g. if a user logs in the mbox is converted? - regarding the Namespaces wiki article, it is

Hi, all. I have been playing with the notion of migrating some of my folders to maildir because it's a lot easier to manage that way from a reader standpoint. The big question I have is how do I maintain message ordering in each folder? When I use a mail program to do the migration from mbox to maildir, selecting "order received ascending", it works nicely, but one very small

Greetings. I've got a poorly conceived and implemented system I'm trying to migrate off of. Right now we've got 20K accounts or so, in mbox form, under UW-IMAP. Eventually we're going to move to Maildir format, but the first step is to move to Dovecot on one of our imap servers as a proof of concept. In other words, all config changes have to take place on the dovecot

Hi Mike, I haven't seen your messages come through the feed so something is not working for your e-mail address there? No I am not using Sieve - the server has a third party handling spam etc so the Linux box is very basic SendMail, Dovecot and RoundCube setup (along with my own procmail based web interface for e-mail forwarding and away message responses). I struggle on. On 09/10/17

We have an older mail server using qpopper and the mbox format which we need to update to dovecot and maildir format. I have read through the docs on migrating from mbox to maildir, as well as a few nuggets on how to migrate from qpopper to dovecot, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on best practices for this specific migration. Would the built in dovecot conversion plugin be a

Beating head on desk again! I have a samba server is running winbind which can access domain. It is working fine and is using domain credentials. I access the samba shares after the user has authenticated against a novell server during the novell logon script. The shares are authenticated with user domain credentials and verified with smbstatus. This works great! If I alternatively use windows
