Is there way to import old plain mboxes via dsync? It complains about lack of index files: ponto:(admin)~>dsync mirror mbox:~/mail dsync(admin): Error: Failed to sync mailbox sent-mail: Mailbox GUIDs are not permanent without index files dsync(admin): Error: Failed to sync mailbox saved-messages: Mailbox GUIDs are not permanent without index files dsync(admin): Error: Failed to sync mailbox

I need to backup some of the mailboxes on our system. We are currently using mdbox with zlib compression plugin. The backups need to be maildir without compression. How can I accomplish this using dsync? The following just causes each msg file in maildir to be compressed as well. dsync -f -u user1 backup maildir:/var/tmp/user1 While this just causes the dsync to fail while spewing a bunch of

Hi, This (hopefully!) might be a case of user error, as I'm new to dovecot... Alternatively it might be some confusion in an index, since I've been mucking about trying different things in my configuration files and had frequent crashes. I'm trying to sync 2 (LAN) hosts, ideally to have full automatic replication happening. They both have hybrid mbox INBOX and maildir++ folders,

Hey there :) I''m creating this app on top of a legacy database, that has a mixture of auto_inc ids, non-''id'' named pks, non-integer-pks, foreign keys that end in _code instead of _id, etc. I have the model working great in the console, where I can create any modeled object and reference other objects without issues. However, I''m running into problems with

Just made the leap from 1.2 to 2.0.6 - and several maddening config typos I think I have a working system again! Getting closer to converting from maildir to mdbox, but first... Trying to use dsync gives me: dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) Ok - I 've never configured namespaces

Greetings, We have about 26 GB of email which we're trying to sync nightly to a remote server, but what I just read from a post from Timo awhile back is that it's not possible because dsync relies on message GUIDs which aren't available in the IMAP protocol. It seems that this is still the case, is there anything on the horizon for this to change? -- *Asai* Global Change

Hi again, after replacing CRLF in 4 mboxes dsync was able to sync all of the 30+GB mailstore to mdbox. Now the (repeated) calling of dsync yields info messages of the kind dsync(athimm): Info: old/speicher: highest_modseq changed: 1 != 10 dsync(athimm): Info: root/root-heretic: highest_modseq changed: 1 != 10 dsync(athimm): Info: lists/ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma: highest_modseq changed: 11

Gents, I'm relocating mailboxes to a new server. Before switching over to a new server I ran syncing a few times without any issues first I sync files with rsync from the old server to have a local copy, then I sync mailboxes with dsync /usr/bin/doveadm -Dv sync -u $MBOX -R "sdbox:/srv/vmail/temp/srv/srv.bgoperator.ru/${MBOX}:DIRNAME=DbOx-mAiLs" After switching over smtp

Hello List, i have a simple and maybe stupid question but, read the guide on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync now i wonder where to put this configuration ? May i oversee something but i would appreciate any hint toward solving my problem. regards, dominik

Hello I have configured replication using dsync. It fails with a message Error: Couldn't create lock /home/admin/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory This directory predictably does not exist - all my users are supposed to be virtual.? I can not find an option to switch this off. At the same time if I try manual replication I get segfault error Mar 30 17:17:24

I'm getting an error backing up mailboxes.

Hello, I thought mdbox was production ready, but it seems to me that (in 2.0.4) it's quite broken. 1) The documentation only running this to convert from maildir to mdbox: *dsync mirror maildir:~/Maildir* but based on my experience and on posts on the mailing list, it's not enough. A namespace has to be defined and it's not clear whether / or . should be used as a separator. I

Hi all, To backup our imap folders I've a cronjob running in the night: /usr/bin/doveadm -o stats_writer_socket_path= backup -R -A -N tcp:xxx.yyy.zzz:4191 This ran successful when I set it up and didn't look at it anymore. Recently I noticed errors: dsync-local(administration)<uO/qHjXS6FteLAAA3i05xw>: Panic: file dsync-mailbox-tree-sync.c: line 1253 (sync_create_mailboxes):

Hello. I have dovecot installation # dovecot --version 20130205 (03a0af22100d+) built with imapc backend.

Hi, When I enable (and it only happens when it is actually running) replication over TCP my users get duplicate mails via pop3. Here?s what happens: * User gets mail * Mail appears in (Maildir) new/ folder on both replicas * user retrieves mail (retr), calls dele. Mail still exists in new/ folder on both replicas. * user runs retr (and gets the duplicate) and dele a second time, the mail is

Hi, *Our setup:* Two Debian 10 machines that are setup to replicate mail between them, we have round robin DNS setup so a user can connect to either server. *What should happen:* Mail is delivered to either server and replicated across straight away to their mailbox on the other server so it does not matter which one they are connected to they will receive it fairly soon after delivery.

Dear list, I?m trying to setup dovecot/postfix/getmail for a single user application: I have 3 email accounts and 2 main computers (home and work). I want to have an imap server on each machine with sync/replication so that read/reply/delete status and sorting into folders are identical. This part is achieved via dsync and seems to work. Messages are fetched from my ISPs with getmail on both

Dear Dovecot users/devs, I have the following mbox file: /tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September I would like to convert it to a Maildir: /tmp/dsync_test/maildir (Currently, the latter is just an empty directory.) I am attempting this on an old PC running Debian 9 ("Stretch"). I installed the dovecot-core package in order to make the `dsync` tool available on that PC. I have
