Newbie question...
I DID offer my help privately. And I have attempted on NUMEROUS occasions to contract somebody to help with ZERO response. So, you?ll excuse me if I have an attitude.

migrate Maildir to mdbox
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?
Thx

Clamping down on mailbox sizes...
In that scenario, what actually happens? Does mail get stored? Or rejected? Or delayed?

Clamping down on mailbox sizes...
I don?t want to do this for all users?.but?
I have a few users who insist that they use their mailboxes regularly and don?t want it cancelled. Fine. But they won?t clean them out either.
What steps would you all recommend for setting quotas on some users but not others?
Specifically starting out with identifying WHICH accounts have excessive amounts of crap in them, by age, then sending them

Assistance with doveadm backup...
Ok, so for lack of any other information, am I to conclude that the doveadm backup command is broken in 2.0.9? I have been through the wiki for it back and forth and cannot make it work.
Yes, I need to upgrade, there is no question, but I won?t do that without a maildir backup. I would prefer to use the built-in dovecot mechanisms for that than something else.

Re: Panic…
Shouldn't an event of this type trigger a useful warning instead of a cryptic programming error?

Assistance with doveadm backup...
I am having trouble locating examples of how to use doveadm backup. All the examples I see are for sync. I simply want to create a backup to a network volume of the email server's vmail folders. The goal here is to have a reasonably current backup should the main drive on the email server go south.
We currently authenticate our users from a mysql database. User?s mailboxes are stored as

my domain in both my destination and virtual_mailbox_domains?
I?m doing a new dovecot mail server for my domain. Here?s yet another thing I mucked up.
I wanted to set up virtual mailboxes. One reason was that I wanted to set up virtual users for the domain so I don?t need to create user accounts just mail accounts.
I followed one of the many examples / tutorials out there and I end up with the following warning message.

Log rotation and combining...
So, the question is, why can I rotate the log manually, but cron returns a permission error? Do I need to tell cron to run it as sudo or something like that?

That doesn?t seem to work either. Where do I find logs for log rotation to see the reason it failed?

RSA key not found
I?ve got a couple of issues with a new mail server set up?
I?m getting the following error:
warning: cannot get RSA certificate from file /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/<mycert>.pem: disabling TLS support
The problem is that <mycert>.pem isn?t an RSA ticket, but a X509 certificate. The RSA ticket is in /etc/pki/dovecot/private directory. I checked both files and they are good certificates.

migrate Maildir to mdbox
mbox is not recommended for new setups unless you have very good reason to do so.
Use maildir or sdbox.

Mailbox; I wish I converted when I had the chance. The only benefits
I can see with mbox is that it's slightly less complicated, and if
you're doing pattern searching or some global mailbox operation, less
I/O intensive, but that's a niche case and usually

Outlook Express with XP...

I am able to connect successfully with Thunderbird, Win 8, Apple Mail, iPhone, iPad.
Outlook Express on Win XP receives just fine, but will not send. I get a "Client host rejected: Access denied? message. I believe this is simply Postfix telling me the connection isn?t properly authenticated, as setting up the exact same credentials on another client (non OE) works. It is

SSL overview...
I thought I read somewhere that the hostnames on replicated dovecot servers had to be different. Is this simply the hostname you specify in the config for dovecot and can this be different than the actual unix hostname?

Log rotation and combining...
I have recently noticed that my dovecot-deliver.log is huge and wanted to start rotating it. So a couple of questions:
1. Can the dovecot-deliver.log be combined with the maillog, that gets rotated weekly? If it can be done, is it advisable?
Since the inception of this particular server, the log file has been located in the /home/vmail directory. Is there a reason it shouldn?t be located in
