similar to: backing up IMAP server on a hard drive

Dear Rick, Thanks for your feedback. I think rsync might be a better option. Its(imap server)with gmail so I dont think it would work . Furthermore I am running a linux system(Ubuntu 14.04 to be precise). Does Mercury 32 support it? >From the site it seems not. Please advise.

Dear Rick, Thanks. I guess I'll have to install dovecot. I am not sure what the parameter for the -host2 should be(apart from localhost? ) Its my first time doing dovecot on a Linux desktop. I was thinking of using Thunderbird to download all mails but I guess that will be too long of a process. On Friday, August 7, 2015, Rick Romero <rick at havokmon.com> wrote: > Hi Kevin, >

Hi Kevin, Ahh. When you said desktop, I assumed you meant Windows.? Dovecot is an IMAP Server, so I assume that was the server you wanted to backup. If you're running Linux, then you could run Dovecot on it and use IMAPSync to sync your Gmail locally.

hello list, I am attempting to sync two imap servers using the imapsync perl script. It seems handy and easy. Here's what happens when I try to do this: # # Postfix master process configuration file. For details on the format # of the file, see the master(5) manual page (command: "man 5 master"). # -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes # -o

My dovecot.conf has the following: # No results when searching the wiki disable_plaintext_auth = no # http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 When I attempt to run imapsync, I receive an error: Host2: <host> says it has NO CAPABILITY for AUTHENTICATE LOGIN imapsync also dumps the helo string, and it is

Did anyone set up the enviroment in dovecot with post login scripting in which imapsync does sync between two mailservers on users login (on login sync mail from old to new mailserver) is there a alternative or different approach? something like #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/imapsync --syncinternaldates --nosyncacls --authmech1 PLAIN --host1 old.server.com --user1 $USER*master --password1 master

Hello, Yesterday I tried to back up a 40GB maildir . I tried to move the maildir from home to external HDD but failed. Decided then to compress it(which took several hours). Now changing the disk format from FAT to exFAT to allow the transfer for the large compressed file. How does one back up emails on a external drive? Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

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

Dear Christian, Thanks for your feedback. The HDD will not accept larger than 4GB (as its in FAT format). Its a new external HDD. Thinking of the best format(that would work with Mac , Win and Linux) .seems like a challenge. What's your view on NTFS? And why not exFAT?

Hi all, actually I got a problem with the namespaces in dovecot 1.1 beta11. It occured after purging index files and resynch via imapsync. Dovecot complains about "Unknown namespace", though it worked with versions before. I cannot comfirm for 1.1beta10, but I surely know 1.1beta9 worked with these settings. Example: From Folder [INBOX/Trash] To Folder [___________] To Folder

Hi, I am trying to backup multiple mail accounts by using imapsync and Dovecot on my local machine. I am using maildir as a mail storage format and currently have the following setting on my local machine :- mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I am afraid that if I imapsync multiple accounts they will all get stored in the same location. Is there a way to seperate the accounts based on the email

I am trying to sync my mail on two different servers as testing for converting our business over to a server using dovecot. I am currently running dovecot version 2.0.11 While trying to sync the messages using Thunderbird and a program named imapsync, I run into an error stating that the dovecot server does not know how to handle messages with the FORWARD flag set. Is the FORWARD flag

Hello, I have a maildir on my Ubuntu PC. I used imapsync + dovecot to copy all my emails on it. What would be a convenient way to access all the emails ( I want to go through and download all attachments). So a tool with some GUI will be nice. Appreciate if someone could help here. Thanks Kevin

Dear Steve, Very valuable info. Appreciate it and will be careful when using terms. Actually I think I should just use rsync without compressing. The reason why I started compressing was because the GUI gave some errors when I was trying to copy then files. I'll just rsync the data from my laptop HDD to my external drive(without compressing) Thanks Kevin On Sunday, August 9, 2015, Steve

This is different thing. This is about managing duplicates on multiple syncs. Imapsync seems to keep track of UID -> MAIL mapping for server A and UID -> MAIL

Kevin, Why don't you use dsync? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync On 08/08/2015 03:38 PM, Benny Pedersen wrote: > Kevin Laurie skrev den 2015-08-08 20:17: > >> Appreciate if someone could advise. > > http://imapsync.lamiral.info/ > > or try google imapsync howto > but do read man pages first
