similar to: dbox alternate storage and samba

I was thinking about documentation for alternate storage. We have a few mentions at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove But I was thinking it would be helpful if there could be a page about alternate storage. I could write the page, but I currently have so many unknowns that I think it would be

Hi, Here is the problem that occured: #sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv at vito.pp.ua all works properly and moves all storage to alt dir. However, to move it back to default storage I add '-r' by manual: #sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv at vito.pp.ua -r all That seems behave like the original command ignoring '-r'. my dovecot conf: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the

This may (and probably does) come under the heading of "really dumb ideas", but... Before I develop this further I need to ask - is it possible to have a "primary" mail_location using single-dbox with an alternate storage using multi-dbox? This is *not* the same as different storages for different namespaces (already have that). -- Daniel

dovecot 2.2.33.2 Ubuntu 18.04 I got strange file .temp.1592374672.P11164Q21M692534.hostname after doveadm altmove command in INBOX on alternate storage server What can I do with this file? Remove? I am using dbox regards

Hi, I originally picked mdbox because I had the impression from reading about it on the mailing list that it was more performant and that it would conserve disc space. But lately i found mailboxes have nearly double the storage as reported. I mean, IMAP QUOTA reports around 900MB for one account that has over 2GB when I inspect the mail location of the user using the linux command `du`

In some folders I have hundred of such files, but they really are hardlinks to the same .temp file (for each folder), so they do not consume

Hello, i know i know, i'm getting annoying but appearently i always come up with weird ideas and i cant seem to accomplish such a task. the scenario is that i have an LDAP server with a bunch of users. some of them are in a specific OU, and i'd like to define for all these users belonging to this OU an alternative mail location/storage. in details for all the users i'd like to use

Just a note to myself and whoever else cares, should be added to wiki once it has its own page about this: With single-dbox messages can be copied with hard linking. This means that there can be multiple files that point to the same attachment file. The attachment is now deleted only once the mail file's link count drops to zero, so this works fine.. ..until someone goes and starts manually

To me, this seems a _very_ important feature, and I wonder if I am doing something wrong or if the feature (hardlink+sieve) simply does not exists. Hardlink+Sieve has never worked. The fix is a bit complicated. Here's my

Hi all, any ideas? Especially point n.1 (no hardlink when sending the same email to multiple addresses) confuse me a bit. Searching in old messages I even stumbled on some users stating that, using Dovecot LMTP server, they achieved what I want (one messagge, multiple hardlinks), but I am _already_ using LMTP with no avail...

Hi all, I have some questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and compression. I already scanned the list for related information and I have an idea of how things works, but I would like to have a definite answer. System spec: - CentOS 6.6 x64 - dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4.x86_64 RPM package/version - sdbox mail store 1) About hardlinks: when sending the same message to two different

Bonjour, I'm finishing the upgrade of an old installation of Dovecot/postfix mail system for my lab. In the configuration i plan ( dovecot 2.2.27 ), i choose to use: - mdbox format - single storage for attachements - 2 zfs file systems, one for mdboxes, the other for attachments The last tests before production concern my hability to restore a lost mail (or mailbox) ...

Hello, Dovecot 2.3.4_3 on FreeBSD 11.2. I am using mdbox Alternate Storage since about two years without any problems. However, the disk containing this storage is almost full and I have to move this data to another disk, probably zpool. Would it be okay to do the following? 1) Shut down dovecot (and mail server) so no new mail comes in. 2) Copy/move all files in ALT location to new disk,

I'm implementing sdbox. In conf.d/10-mail.conf, with "maildir:" mail_location = maildir:/my_mailbox_path/%d/%n mail gets stored in /my_mailbox_path/%d/%n/new/ With "sdbox:" mail_location = sdbox:/my_mailbox_path/%d/%n mail gets stored in /my_mailbox_path/%d/%n/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails. How do I get rid of the '/mailboxes/' and '/dbox-Mails/' path

Yesterday I'vemigrated Dovecot mail archive between two servers using the procedure below: 1) Createon the new server the same email accounts existing on the old server. 2) Transferthe "tarred" mail folder from the old to the new server. For testingpurposes, on Outlook 2007 I've deleted a .pst cache file, forcing the client todownload all emails again. The switchwas absolutely
