Hello list, I have a namespace called 'projects' which when clicked in Thunderbird (nonexistent in eM Client) yields the following error: "The current operation on 'projects' did not succeed.

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

Thanks Jack. That's good to know. It is definitely something to consider. In a distributed storage scenario we might build a dedicated pool for that and tune the pool as more capacity or performance is needed.

Hello We are now running dovecot 2.0.9 with indexes in a ram disk and maildir storage in a test system. We have the following questions: - If there is a power outage / kernel crash, we will lose the content of ramdisk. We have tested that indexes are regenerated when a user logs in via imap, so e-mail access will be "slower" after a power outage / kernel crash, but

With this settings I don't get the expectet result, still get wrong permissions on new mailboxes.

I'm sending this message to both dovecot and ceph-users ML so please don't mind if something seems too obvious for you. Hi, I have a question for both dovecot and ceph lists and below I'll explain what's going on. Regarding dbox format (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox), when using sdbox, a new file is stored for each email message. When using mdbox, multiple

Hello, So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive. My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one

Yeah, I think dovecot was a custom compiled build Version is 2.2.18 Config: # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.8 # OS: Linux 2.6.32-754.14.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.10 (Final) xfs auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } disable_plaintext_auth = no lda_mailbox_autosubscribe =

Reviewing some mailing list archives and the wiki, I still don't have a real clear picture of why I'd want to use mdbox. What I've taken from the info I've reviewed says mdbox is more complicated (than sdbox), has greater potential for breakage (simply because it's more complex), and has a theoretical performance impact depending on the exact filesystem/hardware used.

Silly question? Which is preferred? MailDir or Mbox? (directory vs flat file) How would you do this when migrating from an old server to a new one?

Hi, Your problem might be similar to mine a long time ago. IMO behavior of "doveadm altmove -r" command with mdbox format is different to sdbox format: - With sdbox format, when you move back a message to primary storage (aka default storage), only the message and the file containing it are affected. There is nothing impacted. - With mdbox format, a file in storage contains

Hi, I replaced HDDs in my home server and reinstalled the OS (Ubuntu 17.04). Since I had some time I reviewed my Dovecot configuration and changed a couple of things, including mailbox format. Now I would like to migrate e-mail (about 20G -- I use this server as an e-mail archive). The Maildir is available on the (old) hard disk. The new dovecot is running. What should I use? Would mbsync work?

Hello I have read carefully about dbox (/http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox/) and I have some questions: - One of the main advantages (speed wise) of dbox over maildir is that index files are the only storage for message flags and keywords. What happens when we want to recover some messages from backup? With maildir we can rebuild message indexes, but I am not sure about

OK - I thought this was going to be easy. Maybe it is. I'm just not that good at reading directions. Trying to use dsync.

The setup is as follows: mail_uid = mail mail_gid = mail mail_location =

With a single server - and no intent to have a second server online at this time - is it possible to use the replication service to keep a "live" backup? Or otherwise perform a storage format conversion? I'm presently using sdbox - and considering going back to mdbox though without SIS.? My intent now is ONLY a 1-way backup, to be kept current, and no clients will utilize the
