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

Hello, I started converting INBOX and folder from mbox to maildir. The old folders comming from Dovecot 1.0.13 with a mail_location mbox:%h:INBOX=/inbox/%u.

I have copied tho old Inbox and folders into

Hi, We have dsync failing once in a while when running in "backup" mode. What's strange is that the result is that the file permissions on the *source* machine ends up with the wrong permissions (set to uid 0). Even though the dsync manual clearly says: "Backup mails from default mail location to location2 (or vice versa, if -R parameter is given). No changes are ever done

Hi, i try to migrate mails from a non dovecot imap server to a dovecot imap server with doveadm backup as described there: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync i first tried (local-mailbox port 18143 is the non dovecot imap server): /usr/bin/doveadm -o imapc_user=user at example.org -o imapc_password=imappw -o imapc_host=local-mailbox -o imapc_features=rfc822.size -o imapc_port=18143 -o

Hi, In preparation for a migration from maildir to mdbox, I am using dsync backup to do initial mailbox copies (at this point I do not want to risk any changes to the maildir). The initial run of dsync runs fine, but a second run to migrate any changes since the first run produces errors for many users. Here is an example of the type of error produced: > # dsync -u user backup mdbox:~/mdbox

Hello, I am planning to migrate all users from mbox to maildir. I am trying to do it with minimum downtime. (~100GB data) All users are currently using POP3. Dovecot version is 2.2.10 (latest). Command used is: dsync -u username mirror maildir:~/Maildir Process I plan is: (omitting steps related to sendmail / procmail) 1) keep dovecot running (with mail_location as mbox) 2) dsync for all

Hi peoples, I have a Samba Server that has had the same config for over 10 months now (read: never had a problem). Just today, I thought, let's Play with Flash MX, so download I did. Start playing around, and went to test my first movie and it came up blank. Not a flash GURU that I am, I was stumped. Anyway. Saved the flash file to my local C:\ (Oh did I mention the WS is Win2k ;) .. and

Hello, The following errors are constantly popping up for 2 accounts. I can't get it fixed, I did doveadm backup to another account, the same happens in the new account.

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature.

Hello everbody, I'm a proud user of Dovecot 2.2.9 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I currently migrate all my Linux services to a new Debian 8 Jessie Server. On this server I installed and configured Dovecot 2.2.24. Now I search a way to migrate the two IMAP users I have on this server preserving all timestamps, folders and flags. Yes, only two ;-) I read the following two articles:

Hi All, So close and yet so far.? ;-( Have been migrating users from an old Dovecot server to a new one. All of the users have doveadm backup'd perfectly, except for one !

Hi everybody, I have a virtual user setup that is using maildir, and I'd like to migrate it to mdbox.

I am migrating an old dovecot 2.2.30 (macOS High SIerra, macO S Server) to a new server with dovecot 2.3.7 (macOS Mojave, macports). To get the data over, I?m trying to do a reverse backup with doveadm between an old and a new mail server, but failing to do so. I?m trying (from the new server, the old server is 192.168.2.67): doveadm -Dv \ -o imapc_host=192.168.2.67 \ -o imapc_user=gerben \

More dsync issues. We were running 2.1.7 and we updated to 2.1.9. Same problem with both versions. I'm getting an error 75 on about 40 boxes out of 1800. It is the same list of boxes every time we use 'dsync backup' to backup the server. dsync seems to stop communicating to the backup box (over ssh). strace just shows it sitting at a epoll_wait. Once the program quits (times out?), a

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 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
