Hello, I've got a Postfix/Dovecot server setup. Currently Dovecot is version 2.3.6, and it's using Maildir storage. The mailbox is: mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs I'm wanting to convert from Maildir to sdbox. I looked at: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat I was initially thinking mdbox but that's multiple messages per

I added those lines to the bottom of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf . However, when I attempted the mbox to maildir conversion afterwards, I still received an error, albeit a

On https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat we see: mbox -> maildir migration. Set mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir and run dsync -u username mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username but NOWHERE that I can find is the ?mirror? command documented on the wiki. What are ALL the options here? (and it?s interesting to note that dsync is a symlink to doveadm). Thanks! --

I'm trying to convert from an old Dovecot (1.0.15) and mbox to a new Dovecot and maildir. I'm running into several problems with dsync which are causing my mboxes not to convert. If I use LAYOUT=fs (as I'd prefer) I get an error because I have a mailbox called "subscriptions", and none of my messages convert. Is there a way to get dovecot to put its own metadata in

I ran across what I think may be a bug in dsync when trying to convert from mbox to Maildir format. My first attempt failed with a runaway dsync process spewing out thousands of identical lines of the form: dsync(buus): Error: Duplicate mailbox GUID 00fe691ff60da85b090d0000c8119523 for mailboxes Archive/Personal and Work/VendorInfo - giving a new GUID 00fe691ff60da85b090d0000c8119523 to

I'm migrating an old UW pop server to a new Dovecot server. The old server did not allow mail to be stored on the server, so only mbox files exist in /var/mail, with nothing in /home/$user. I'd like to copy the /var/mail directory over to the new server and then use dsync to convert the mbox files and put them in /home/$user/Maildir, but every permutation of the command line I've

Dear Dovecot users/devs, I have the following mbox file: /tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September I would like to convert it to a Maildir: /tmp/dsync_test/maildir (Currently, the latter is just an empty directory.) I am attempting this on an old PC running Debian 9 ("Stretch"). I installed the dovecot-core package in order to make the `dsync` tool available on that PC. I have

I've been trying to convert an existing set of mbox mail to maildir using dsync, but it seems to fail when it gets to the large boxes. $ dsync -Dv mirror maildir:~/Maildir Everything seems to work reasonably well until the first of the large boxes hits: dsync(jeff): Warning: Maildir /home/jeff/Maildir/.cron.2010-07-10: Synchronization took 1210 seconds (102289 new msgs, 0 flag change

Hi, with 2.2.2 and today's hg, dsync crashes with dsync(root): Panic: file ../../../../../src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-lock.c: line 797 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || mbox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) when I run USER=root 2.2-hg/bin/dsync -c etc/dovecot.conf -f -o mail_location=mbox:/tmp/imap/fwadmin.tmp:INBOX=/tmp/imap/fwadmin.tmp/INBOX mirror

We are currently in the process of replacing one of our customer mail systems with a dovecot solution. However, one of the sticking points right now is how to get the old mail to the new system. On the dovecot side, we are using mdbox storage. On the old system we are using qpopper/mbox mailboxes in the following setup. All user inboxes are in /mnt/mail/mail_spool. Only select, privileged,

Hi, I'm trying to convert a 33GB mail store from mbox to compressed mdbox (largest mbox is 2.7GB). The source store is live, e.g. there are mails delivered into it and mails are being read. Actually it is my own mail. :) Although my test runs were very successful I have run into trouble with the first run on the whole store. After fighting a bit around with errors like Error: Trying

I observe that dsync fills Maildir correctly incl. cur, if I delete Maildir just before dsync runs. Can the failed mbox to Maildir conversion be caused by dovecot creating Maildir automatically if a client connects to dovecot? Should dovecot be shutdown when running dsync?

Hi all, I have dovecot serving aprox 200 users through mbox, but the time has come to migrate to a new server, and to use Maildir. Using rsync from the old server I get all user data, i.e /home/*, and inboxes i.e /var/mail/* to a new server. This has worked well for some time as backup. The dsync should convert everything to Maildir, and it does... to an extent. (linebrakes for easy viewing)

Hi everybody, I have a virtual user setup that is using maildir, and I'd like to migrate it to mdbox. Following directions from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat and keeping in mind that my maildir is in maildir:/mnt/vmail/%d/%u, after having updated 10-mail.conf I have tried to execute: dsync -u "user at domain.org" mirror maildir:/mnt/vmail/domain.org/user

While migrating from mbox to maildir using dsync, I kept running into a brick wall. Some folders would not sync. The message in stderr was: Error message GUID: Mailbox GUIDs are not permanent without index files. This is what solved things for me. I hope this might help someone. Let me know if I'm completely off sides. When working with dsync to migrate from mbox to maildir format mailboxes,

Hi, We are trying to convert all mbox mail on our systems to mdbox using dsync, in order to be able to use email sub-folders in Thunderbird. Everything works fine for non-inbox folders, however the inbox folders are not getting converted. We used: *dsync -v convert mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u* *dovecot --version* 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef) (shipping with RHEL6/SL6) *dovecot -n* #

Hi Testing dsync, things go wrong: doveadm sync -u user remote:root at mail2.example.net dsync-local(user): Error: Mailboxes don't have unique GUIDs: 72e3be2c6f203b50883c000044af56a8 is shared by RT and RT_72e3be2c6f203b50883c000044af56a8 Obviously RT_72e3be2c6f203b50883c000044af56a8 is an outdated copy of RT But .mailboxlist does not list that mailbox. Is there a trick to make sure
