I would like to delete old mail from root's sent mailbox but doveadm throws errors when I try to do this, not wanting to process root's mail at all (I am running the commands as root, naturally) # doveadm expunge -u root mailbox Sent SENTBEFORE 1-Apr-2018 doveadm(root): Error: Invalid settings in userdb: userdb returned 0 as uid doveadm(root): Error: User lookup failed: Invalid user

Where exactly does dovecot get the date that it reports via IMAP? I have a lot of messages that were restored from an archive and so all have the same date, despite being over the span over several years. I tried setting the timestamps of the files to the date in the Received header, but that didn?t seem to make any difference to what my IMAP clients see. Do I have to rename the files to the

?For each virtual directory you need to create a dovecot-virtual file. Its syntax is like:? OK, where does this file get created? Say I want the users to have a virtual mailbox that is messages received in the last month, does that file go into each user' s Maildir path? It sounds like I have to create a virtual folder for each user, then any folders inside that folders, and then the config

Hi Sami, Can you expand on this? I used ImapSync to migrate from Dovecot to Office365 a couple of years ago, and didn't notice any issues with it at all.

When trying to sync my TV folder to a mirror drive, episodes with non-ASCII characters in them cannot be processed by rsync. Anything I can do about this? For example, I get this: building file list ... file has vanished: "/Volumes/TV/Raising Hope/Raising Hope - S04E01 - De?\#201ja Vu Man.mkv" This is rsync under OS X: $ rsync --version rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
