similar to: My sub-folder with Outlook work-around to date

Hi All, After over a week of stuffing around in /etc/dovecot/conf.d files and lots of trial and error, I now have a controlled setup to migrate one user at a time to Maildir without affecting the other mbox based users. For the sake of not posting an essay, if you go to this web page: http://dmc1961.id.au/howto_17101101.php you will see what I have done (moderators please let me know if this

Hi Mike, I haven't seen your messages come through the feed so something is not working for your e-mail address there? No I am not using Sieve - the server has a third party handling spam etc so the Linux box is very basic SendMail, Dovecot and RoundCube setup (along with my own procmail based web interface for e-mail forwarding and away message responses). I struggle on. On 09/10/17

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

You can give mail location and home directory from userdb or passdb. For userdb, return mail=something:~/something and for home use home=/path/to/home For passdb, you can return userdb_mail and userdb_home Aki > On October 8, 2017 at 1:14 PM Philon <bytesplit at gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi David, > > I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from

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

Hi All, please be kind, this is my first e-mail to the list :-) I actively support CentOS based e-mail servers running Dovecot, Sendmail, Spammassassin and 3 x SOGo based setups. Dovecot is my goto IMAP server and have used it and modifications to it to net excellent results for years. Then we have people who insist on only using Outlook (and in some instances the MS Live Messenger thingy).

Hi David, I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from per-user-settings. I had this once when migrating from maildir to mdbox. You might want to use Google and the mailing list archives for the details but in summary it went like this: - set Dovecot to grab the mail_location from user-settings (I think we used MySQL db field - or check docs for auto:) - have login

Wow excellent feedback Joseph, Philon and Aki, You have all pointed me in the right direction. Tonight I have tested Dovecot with just the minor configs I do for Dovecot setup and I have commented out the mbox/Maildir lines in 10-mail.conf from my testing: #mail_location = #mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I had run up some test files

Thanks for the reply and suggestion Robert. I have now set mail_max_userip_connections to 400 in 20-imap.conf to see if it makes any difference. Late yesterday the customer tested from his office, an older IOS 9 tablet and he had IMAP working in a matter of minutes, so is certainly an newer software version by Apple issue.

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 All, This is my first post so forgive me if this hits the wrong list. I have been using dovecot for years happily with SendMail on mainly CentOS servers, and my customers are starting to more and more use Thunderbird, so my perfect model is: Linux --> Dovecot --> SendMail --> Thunderbird (or mobile phone e-mail app). I do have some customers using Outlook or Windows Live Mail,

Subject: Different user messages clustered around the same date.saved value After updating dovecot to 2.1.3, I can now use "doveadm expunge -A ..." to iterate through all user trash folders and expunge old messages. However, I noticed a strange thing: querying what would have been deleted doveadm -ftab fetch -A "date.saved" mailbox Trash savedbefore 7d showed many
