similar to: Change in LAYOUT=fs between 1.2.9 and 2.0.19?

Hello, I think about migrating small servers storage to LAYOUT=fs (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir#Directory_layout) Is there a smooth way to adjust the existing folders? Andreas

dovecot-2.2.28-1.el6_31.wing.x86_64 I've created this public shared namespace with namespace public2 { type = public separator = . prefix = Public2. location = maildir:/mail/public2:INDEX=/mail/%u/public:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=.store subscriptions = no } and I'm using the "imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep" and filesystem structure listed at the end. The

running latest dovecot HEAD, per, http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir i've set LAYOUT=fs, dovecot -n| grep -i layout mail_location: maildir:/data/mail:LAYOUT=fs and expect, maildirs to actually use physical directories, such as: * Maildir/folder/ * Maildir/folder/subfolder/ but, autocreate at login creates folders using "dot" prefixes, e.g., cd

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello List, First of all, this is my first post so please bear with me if I miss something. I'm using Postfix with Dovecot 2.0.19 as the LDA. The home directory is of the form `/var/mail/virtual/<domain>/<username>`. The mail directory is under the home directory and named `mail`. `mail_location` is left empty, and userdb is

Hi, What we do, on the dovecot side, is: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=mAildir See: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir This has been working out very nicely for many years. I'm not sure though that there is a way to 'move' to that config without having to basically migrate all your mailboxes. MJ On 10/06/2017 04:08 AM, David.M.Clark wrote: >

Hi I have installed the package dovecot-postfix on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: dovecot --version: 2.0.19 postconf -d | grep version: 2.9.6 and receiving email works very fine, but relaying email does not work. I think the problem is that after STARTTLS the authentication is not being executed 250-AUTH PLAIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN which means using telnet returns telnet mx2.wyona.com 587 Trying

Hi All We are getting the following errors on our 2 node RAC cluster and the Nodes reboots during this time . Does anybody knows what is causing this issue? Do we need to upgrade our OCFS .

Hi, I would like to try implementing user specific default_mail_env's as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MailLocation using the LDAP attribute 'mailLocation'. However, I have been unable to find any LDAP schema which contains mailLocation. What schema is this attribute part of? Thanks, Jason Pepas

Hi guys, this page needs to be updated: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir#Control_files (link was from here: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation) Section 'Control files' is mentioning only 2 files but, in fact, Dovecot will store some additional files in CONTROL location: dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.* subscriptions (anything more?) Even more, page

Hi All, Thanks to MJ for the suggestion as my only hope, and I have tested this with Outlook 2016 and Thunderbird today - seamless creation of folders. Now the mammoth task of converting customers with masses of mbox folders to MailDir format using the on-line perl script: mb2md-3.20.pl Works nicely and will be what gets us out of trouble. My only sadness is that Outlook then has to be

Hi, I've reported this some month ago before (without response), but still I have no clue what is going wrong. Our installation is LDAP based (for virtual hosting) and up to I think alpha2 or 3 everything was working as expected. The trouble I have is that dovecot does not correctly use the information it gets about mailLocation. This is what is stored in the MailMessageStore attribute

Hi, I was setting up a new system for testing Dovecot 1.0. My old one is using 0.99 and was set up quite a time ago, so I had to consult the documentation. I needed several attempts until it worked and that was because the designated maildir directory /server/mail/jrg/Maildir was completely empty. Upon login the server exited and wrote the following to the log: POP3(jrg): Ambiguous mail location

Hi all I hope to get some help on the separator. I am sure that I hava a wrong understanding what the separator is. I thaught the separator is the delimiter within the imap folder structure. For example: Imap folder structure: folder Flights, subfolder Lufthansa If the delimiter is ?.? the ls ?a command should result: .Flights .Flights.Lufthansa If delimiter is

Hello, I have not been using the home directory but I read in MailLocation.txt that I probably should. Does dovecot create each directory? What does it put in there? My server uses mbox format. My users all look like this: [root at sendmail log]# finger chayes Login: chayes Name: 50387.00 Directory: /home/chayes Shell: /sbin/nologin Never logged in.

Thanks for the reply MJ. Good to hear it works in MailDir format - might need to look at this. To date I have only had this issue with Outlook and for me personally on Fedora with Thunderbird, I tend to keep a heap of e-mail folders without sub-foldering and have my own little Linux 'utopia' of annually archiving folders etc using the Linux scripting environment, so I never have

In reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation it is not clear to me the syntax for setting mail_location inside a userdb block. --

I've updated http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation regarding a typical mail_location entry for dbox. Previously it said: mail_location = dbox:~/dbox but of course "dbox" is now the old name for "sdbox", so the example should be updated to say "sdbox" and there might/ought also to be an example for "mdbox". In

Hi all, my current Dovecot setup is fetching both the imap quota limit and the mail location settings from LDAP entries. user_attrs = [...] UDBmailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$, mailLocation=mail That is because we have 3 users who wants to fetch their mail from /var/mail/<username>. All the other users have maildir with maildir quota. The LDAP entry for /var/mail user looks like this:
