maildir vs dbox?
I'm facing some issues on mdbox based backups. Backups are failing with dbox corruption messages. SiS is the greatest advantage though. However backups integrity is very important. If SiS/Deduplication is not a requirement stick to Maildir.
Regards
DP

Corrupted dbox file around offset= EOF reading msg header
Hello Dovecoters,
I am using dovecot-2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64 on RHEL 7.4
When I backup mdboxes (using SIS) using this command
doveadm -Dv -o plugin/quota= sync -1f -u user1 at user.com
mdbox:/mailbackup/user1
mails get backedup but all m files are not copied. Last file copied is m.4
If I run the command again I get below error
I tried with doveadm backup command as well (many times).

Moving from MBOX to Maildir or DBox ?
Hello
Actually we use MBOX format for all our IMAP access but users complain
they cannot create subfolders in imap folders, of course they cannot
because of MBOX format ...
I need gurus advices on changing mailbox format
Maildir of Dbox ?
What would be the safest way to go ?
Note : we extensively use Thunderbird here.
Thanks

Convert Maildir to Dbox?
Hello,
I've got a Dovecot 2.3.x setup. Currently it's running Maildir
storage. I'd like to convert that to Dbox specifically Sdbox safely.
I'm also looking to at the same time or shortly thereafter encrypt the
email storage with mail_crypt.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.

users of dbox format
I am interested in finding out your experiences with using the dbox
format (especially mdbox) if you use this format.
I am contemplating changing my maildir setup to mdbox but I still need
to make a case for it
against maildir which has become a de-facto standard and provides sort
of a secure basis in case of
software changes.
Your input will be appreciated.

Rsync to backup dbox with SIS
We will be deploying a replacement Dovecot server soon, and we are
planning to use maildir for the primary storage, but with an archive
namespace using mdbox (or perhaps sdbox), and SIS.
Our backup servers and (luke)warm spare server need to obtain full
copies of the mail store. For the maildirs I know I can simply use rsync
(we already use it here).
I'm a little wary of using rsync with

(Single instance) attachment storage with single-dbox
Just a note to myself and whoever else cares, should be added to wiki
once it has its own page about this:
With single-dbox messages can be copied with hard linking. This means
that there can be multiple files that point to the same attachment file.
The attachment is now deleted only once the mail file's link count drops
to zero, so this works fine..
..until someone goes and starts manually

Convert Maildir to Dbox?
Hello,
Thanks. Are there any performance or stability advantages Sdbox over
Maildir? I'm also thinking ease of encryption an Sdbox or Mdbox vs
Maildir?
Thanks.

maildir vs dbox?

It can be faster when a user deletes or moves a large number of messages.
One reason why I migrated a few sites is that when reporting issues with maildir on this list, there seems to be lack of interest in fixing them. In that regard, it can be seen as a safer choice.

Converting from Maildir to dbox
Hi,
How do i convert from Maildir to dbox using the convert plugin?
My users reside in /home/user/Maildir.
In the dovecot.conf file i've set up
convert_mail = dbox:%h
but I am not sure about the syntax. Im getting the error:
Couldn't create mailbox directory INBOX
Mailbox conversion failed, exiting
Thanks

(Single instance) attachment storage
Now that v2.0.0 is only waiting for people to report bugs (and me to
figure out how to fix them), I've finally had time to start doing what I
actually came here (Portugal Telecom/SAPO) to do. :)
The idea is to have dbox and mdbox support saving attachments (or MIME
parts in general) to separate files, which with some magic gives a
possibility to do single instance attachment storage. Comments

Migrating from Maildir to dbox+SIS... sdbox or mdbox?
Ok...
Now that I've got the niggling issues resolved, on to bigger and better
things.
I want to convert everyone from Maildir to dbox and enable SIS (our
users use a lot of large attachments), and after some reading/googling,
I think it may be better to use dsync instead of rsync for the actual
migration after all since it will do this at the same time as the syncing.
If I'm not

dbox verses maildir - advantages/disadvantages
I am migrating our mail server from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot. We
currently use maildir storage format.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Dovecot's dbox format
over maildir?
Does anyone have any performance benchmarks for both? What do people
use to test performance?
We are running on a Mac OS X box (10.5.7) using Postfix 2.6.
Thanks,
James.

I have also acting the zlib plugin it is not a problem isn't it?
Thanks in advance for any response

Any suggestions for backing up an imap server and whould maildir or dbox be better than mbox?

Mails are stored in mbox format and there are about 134GB of mail.
At the moment users copy their importent mail to their workstation

What are your suggestions to back up the mails not copied? Thanks for
