similar to: mdbox + alt storage + purge = wtf ...

To a degree I agree .. given mdbox doesnt delete until purge .. but then would be nice if purge took a dovecot search rather than just ditch everything with refcount=0 ... in that way could say purge everything thats been marked as delete according to a specified criteria. rgds Matt completly unrelated moved mailserver back home and listed on cyren so atm getting bounced by dovecot.fi .. have

All, Anyone know that if you setup lazyexpounge with mdbox that as ALT storage defined, whether the mail location for namespace used by lazyexpunge also need the ALT= specified ?? rgds Matt

You can use mdbox_deleted driver to access mails with refcount 0.

Hi, We are currently testing Dovecot 2.0.13 with mdbox. If I delete large objects with refcount=0 the index is not updated apparently. Here's an example: [root at mail-004 storage]# ls -l total 194776 -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 482960 Jul 9 14:58 dovecot.map.index -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 4584 Jul 9 16:06 dovecot.map.index.log -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 32856 Jul 9 14:50

Yesterday I had to recover an e-mail which a user had deleted. If I understand this correctly the message was expunged but not purged (doveadm purge had not been run). This e-mail was clearly still in the mdbox stored with zlib compression as I could tell using the doveadm dump command (doveadm dump -t dbox filename). I could however not reveal the e-mail with the normal doveadm fetch -u

Hi, we have a linux network at the office. Mainly ubuntu and debian systems. Each user has it's own mail client, thunderbird, evolution, etc. In the mail server we use as the local delivery agent, dovecot 1.2.15 and the protocol imap. The users mailbox are in the server at /var/mail. Due to some kind of problem the mails that are set for delete in the mail client are not being

We've finally (!) started to put some users on mdbox instead of maildir, and now I'm wondering about the purge step. As we're running GPFS for the mailboxes (and dovecot director in front of every dovecot service), is it important to run the "doveadm purge -u $user" on the same host as $user is logged into to avoid index corruption ? If so, will we need to run the

Hi, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0rc2 with mdbox mail format and I'm not sure what this exactly means: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox Quote from wiki page: ===== Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This may be done automatically within the session or later in a nightly cronjob when there's less

So moving on from earlier issue now looking at converting mail inbox to mdbox and keeping lazy_expunge as mdbox also .. but again seeing some wierdness so questions .... 1) When i purge trash folder I seem to get 2 copies of the message in .EXPUNGED/Trash folder .. however if I set lazy_expunge_only_last_instance = yes then dont seem to get ANY copy .. just nothing. 2) If I go into Trash and

Hi there. I am using mdbox storage with great success but I am seeing something I find strange and I would like to compare notes with you. When doing "doveadm purge", "m.*" files with non deleted messages are left alone, but "m.*" files with deleted messages copy the "non deleted" messages to a newly created "m.*" file and delete the original.

I am using stored configs to manage my nagios host and services checks and I have run into a problem that I have been unable to solve. When the stored configs are purged from puppet the nagios server correctly removes them from the services and hosts file but does not notify the nagios service and instead throws an error. So the entries are still there and nagios still reports on them until

Hi, I've just migrated to Dovecot from cyrus-imapd, and I notice that when I move emails from one folder to another they appear to be automatically marked deleted (expected) and also purged (not expected). With cyrus, I am used to emails being marked deleted, but still existing until a manual purge (expunge). Is this normal behaviour with Dovecot, and is it configurable? Thanks. Kevin.

Yes I have done it, it is the third command I have run, without any change. a.

Did you "purged" the deleted mails for this user? On mdbox you must run "doveadm purge -u $USER" to whipe out any as deleted marked mails etc. Details: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Purge I use a nightly cronjob wor this.

Anyone had any experience they can share using a director setup with NFS and using the mdbox format instead of maildir. Is locking an issue on index files ?? rgds Matt -- <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campaign=reach>
