Hi, Two things: 1. Does anyone know of a good PPA with updated packages of Dovecot for Ubuntu? "For the latest Dovecot for latest Ubuntu LTS see Xiaoka APT Repository. (Outdated. Could someone provide a ppa for latest stable Dovecot, please?)" 2. On the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Ubuntu page there is a link to a supposedly outdated PPA, the ppa page now redirects to

Hi, I am doing a mass migration of users from Cyrus imap on a solaris server to dovecot 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu1 and am getting this weird issue with dsync if I try to do a "full" sync. Debug output below: dsync(user at example.com): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Save commit failed: Mailbox was deleted under us dsync(user at example.com): Debug: brain M: out box 'INBOX'

Hi All! I am working on a complete migration from an old solaris machine running Cyrus IMAP v2.3.14 and wish to migrate all users to a new ubuntu vm running Dovecot 2.0.19. What I have so far is a fully functional dovecot installation with LDAP / Dovecot SASL auth using Maildir++. My plan is to use Perdition IMAP proxy on a third host and migrate users a few at a time (see attached picture of

Hi, running: dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -R -f -u user at domain imapc: Where "domain" is a cyrus imap server does not do what the documentation says it does, not even close. After the first run to an empty mailbox on the dovecot 2.2.13 server all the mails (1.1GB) seem to be correctly synced. I send a test email to the dovecot server and it shows up correctly. Second

Hi, I cobbled together this somewhat shoddy Bash script to migrate email accounts from our Cyrus server to a new dovecot system. Feel free to use, or laugh at it as you wish :) #!/bin/bash ## # Migrate email accounts via IMAP from one server to another ## trap "kill 0" SIGINT workdir=/root/migrate # Load list of users into array. The file "migration_map" should contain

Hi! While performing a dsync from cyrus imap to dovecot 2.2.12, dsync seems to stop for perhaps a minute without disk / cpu / memory activity (that I can see). This happens several times per sync per user so it takes an enormous amount of time to sync just a couple of gigs of mail. dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -f -R -u user at example.com imapc: What could possibly be the cause of

Hi, I am confused by the wording of this Wiki entry: sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve The path to the user's main active Sieve script. When ManageSieve is used, this is a symbolic link pointing to the active script in the sieve_dir directory. Avoid placing the active Sieve script inside the sieve_dir directory. So this should be a link *to* the active script in the sieve_dir directory

Hi! I recently setup a second with replication to the other. Both machines run ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.2.13 (6bb26098a45c). All users mail accounts are currently synced manually to the first (mb1) using a dsync script, they are synchronised from a cyrus imap server. Users are still logging into the cyrus server. It appears that the only accounts that are replicated are ones who have

Hello. Is Dovecot able to create and/or read any sort of compressed mail archive? We have a large installation with a few users who need to keep a large amount of email available. With maildir this means a large number of individual files, leading to additional load on our backup process. Even using a compressed mbox file as an archive would help, but only if Dovecot is able to interact

Hi! I am playing with dsync and trying to fix an issue I have mentioned in another thread (subject: "Re: [Dovecot] Dsync error: Couldn't drop privileges: getgrnam") and feel that dsync could use some additional informational output. It would be particularly helpful while experimenting with a migration if it could output a transfer summary and / or log separately. A summary

Hi all I hope anyone could help me out with my problem regarding the user_id settings. I am running my mail servers just for fun and I am not a professional mail admin. After I am using postfix and dovecot for my mail servers with a mysql backend for the last 2 years I have tried to set up an installation with a ldap backend. I followed the how-to from the ?Postfix Book? and now I have

Hello all, This is my first post to this list. I have tried finding this answer online but while it seems that there are some people out there asking, I cant seem to get an answer to it. I have installed Dovecot some many month ago, and just recently I have been getting an error while trying to log into one of my accounts that I used all the time. The error that comes up is pop3: We

I'm currently trying to set up a Dovecot 2.0.0 server for backup purposes. There's an existing server which I successfully migrated to Dovecot 2.0.0, and it uses LDAP for authentication. For the backup server, which will not be exposed to users, I tried both PAM and PASSWD authentication, but all I are syslog entries like these: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<foo>,

Wanted to make openssh w/both -lwrap and BIND 8.2.3's -lbind on an m68k NeXT 3.3. Started w/then current openssh-2.3.0p1.

My dovecot stores users' emails on /var/spool/imap/<user> and stores the messages index on /var/lib/imap/<user>. I have many users who do not yet have their userdb_home directories created on the server, because that is created at the time of first login. I'm testing dsync for replication and have seen the following error: dsync-server(<user>): Error: Couldn't
