Hi list, this question was already posted a few years ago (https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-November/098585.html). I already asked the original queriest and he told me, that he never got an solution or workaround but it was not important enough for him. When using replication in conjunction with sieve vacations, the .dovecot.lda-dupes file is not synced with the other server. So when

Hi, I'm about getting to know dovecot in details, I am about the command "doveadm user". The man page shows this example: userdb: jane uid : 8001 gid : 8001 home : /home/jane mail : sdbox:~/sdbox plugins : sieve quota_rule: *:storage=150M It seems to be nice, however I never got this only: ~# doveadm

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 try to migrate dovecot 1 to dovecot 2 with doveadm backup.

Hi all, in my settup i decided to set mail_home in 10-mail.conf, and let dovecot do the hashing to a 2-level directory structure. mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/altstorage/%h/mdbox mail_home = /vmail/%1Mu/%2.1Mu/%u In my userdb ist homedirectory not set and everythink works as expected, except when i use rawlog i get only logs in ~/dovecot.rawlog if home is set in userdb. In wiki

Hi, I tried to migrate my dovecot 2.2 to a new server with a other storage configuration and dovecot 2.3. New (and old) Server uses mysql for user information I use the following storage settings mail_home = /storage1/vmail/%{userdb:path} mail_location =

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?

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

I am running dovecot 2.2.2 with tcp based replication, and experiencing some duplicated emails. `doveconf -n` output is below. I have narrowed it down to the following scenario: An email arrives, and is successfully replicated to both nodes. It is in INBOX/new/ at this point on both servers. Connect with a mail client, and delete the message - without delayed expunge. So, for example, mutt

Hi, right now my index directory is part of the users home directory: mail_home = /var/mail/%d/%n mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox I want the indexes to be stored in a different location: mail_home = /var/mail/%d/%n mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n If I just switch this setting and reload the configuration, no e-mails are shown to the user. After restoring the whole maildir

I'm getting an error backing up mailboxes.

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

Hello In my setup I have the following in dovecot.conf (dovecot 2.0.12) mail_home = /buzones/mydomain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n/home_usuario/ mail_location = mdbox:/buzones/my_domain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n:INDEX=/indices_dovecot/indices/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n My problem is with the autocreation of mail_home. We are using roundcube+sieve plugin and the first time a user tries to use sieve fails with

Hi, when trying to backup mailboxes I noticed some hiccups when the ACL plugin is enabled. It works fine with ACL disabled: $ doveadm -o plugin/quota= backup -u tlx at leuxner.net mdbox:/home/backups/tlx/mdbox However, enabled (and w/ a mailbox actually using ACLs) the following error occurs: $ doveadm -o plugin/quota= backup -u tlx at leuxner.net mdbox:/home/backups/tlx/mdbox dsync(tlx at
