Converting user mailboxes from maildir to sdbox
Hello,
I've got a Postfix/Dovecot server setup. Currently Dovecot is version
2.3.6, and it's using Maildir storage. The mailbox is:
mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n
mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs
I'm wanting to convert from Maildir to sdbox. I looked at:
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat
I was initially thinking mdbox but that's multiple messages per

Question about indexes and maildir/sdbox/mdbox
Hello
We are now running dovecot 2.0.9 with indexes in a ram disk and
maildir storage in a test system. We have the following questions:
- If there is a power outage / kernel crash, we will lose the
content of ramdisk. We have tested that indexes are regenerated when a
user logs in via imap, so e-mail access will be "slower" after a power
outage / kernel crash, but

Syntax to specify sdbox: mail_location path?
I'm implementing sdbox.
In conf.d/10-mail.conf, with "maildir:"
mail_location = maildir:/my_mailbox_path/%d/%n
mail gets stored in /my_mailbox_path/%d/%n/new/
With "sdbox:"
mail_location = sdbox:/my_mailbox_path/%d/%n
mail gets stored in /my_mailbox_path/%d/%n/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails.
How do I get rid of the '/mailboxes/' and '/dbox-Mails/' path

Mailbox statistics (sdbox / indexes) (+ wiki2 frontpage notes)
Hi,
I used to, with a simple script, loop over the filenames in a Maildir,
grab the From from the contents of the file and grab the flags
(especially "READ" and "REPLIED") from the filename, but after moving to
sdbox these flags are hidden in the index file.
Is there anyway to get these out of there programmatically without
having to resort to using an imap-client or is that

Slightly more intelligent way of handling issues in sdbox?
Hi there,
I was doing some testing on sdbox yesterday. Basically I did the
following procedure:
1) Create new sdbox; deliver 2 messages into it (u.1, u.2)
2) Create a copy of the index file (no cache file created yet)
3) deliver another message to the mailbox (u.3)
4) copy back index file from stage (2)
5) deliver new mail
Then the message delivered in stage 3 ie u.3 gets replaced with the

sdbox filesystem backup potential excludes
When doing a filesystem backup of an moderate sdbox mailstore (300GB) -
are there any files that can be safely excluded from the backup?? Like
*.log or *.backup?? Or are they all "vital" for recovery?
I'm already excluding the sdbox/virtual folders as it looks like they
get created and updated as needed.

Blank lines in mailboxes
Hello,
we use dovecot on a regular basis. Sometimes I end up with a user
telling me he does not get mail. When I look after the problem,
I always find leading blank lines in the mbox file. We are using postfix
with dovecot and amavisd as spam scanner. Amavisd never accesses the
mbox files directly so this can be ruled out. I suspected procmail but
now it happened also with accounts where no

Converting from Maildir - sdbox
OK - I thought this was going to be easy. Maybe it is. I'm just not that
good at reading directions.
Trying to use dsync. Getting this error:
Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator
(specify separator for the default namespace)
Currently using maildir. The setup is as follows:
mail_uid = mail
mail_gid = mail

maildir to sdbox offline conversion
Hi all. I've just installed dovecot v2.1 in a multihomed, multiinstance
setup, It took me two days to convert the old v1.1 configs, now everything
works like charm! But. :)
I have several maildir mailboxes, I decided to use the sdbox storage type
instead.
I ran into difficoulties using the dsync util.
My virtual users are in an OpenLDAP DB on a differnet machine, and I do not

Upgrade from 2.0. to 2.2
Hello, we have a centos 6 server running dovecot 2.0 provided with the
OS, currently 2.0.9. We would like to upgrade to the 2.2.19 package
provided by the mailserver.guru repo. I read the upgrading docs for 2.1
and 2.2 and found the following issues:
2.0 - 2.1:
- define namespace inbox or delete 15-mailboxes.conf (we do not "care
about special use mailboxes")

[ceph-users] dovecot + cephfs - sdbox vs mdbox
Thanks Jack.
That's good to know. It is definitely something to consider.
In a distributed storage scenario we might build a dedicated pool for that
and tune the pool as more capacity or performance is needed.

Deleting messages from filesystem with sdbox mail format
Dear list,
I recently had to delete some messages from an sdbox mailbox, for which
I used the canonical "doveadm expunge" command without issues.
However I got curious and, on a test mailbox, I deleted an unimportant
message directly from the filesystem (rm u.650). After removing the
file, the webmail continued to show it in the mail list - but no text
was retrieved when I selected

Migrated from maildir to sdbox: questions
Hi Ranbir,
i think youre just using the wrong quota backend.
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota
You should switch from "quota = maildir...." to another one, like dict.
Converting your Public mailbox you could try this ( no guarantee .. just guessing. make backup ! ):
doveadm -o mail_location="maildir:/var/spool/mail/thesandhufamily.ca/public" sync sdbox:/target/folder

Performance of Maildir vs sdbox/mdbox
Hi Guys,
I've been desperately trying to find some comparative performance
information about the different mailbox formats supported by Dovecot in
order to make an assessment on which format is right for our environment.
This is a brand new build, with customer mailboxes to be migrated in over
the course of 3-4 months.
Some details on our new environment:

sdbox-format and sa-learn(spamassassin)
Hello,
is it somehow possible to use sa-learn on sdbox-mailboxes?
Maybe i can use dsync to "mirror" the mailboxes(only the spam-subfolder)
to another
location and convert it to mbox or maildir and act then on it with sa-learn?
I know the antispam-Plugin, but until now no success, to get it running.
So I think about
an way, to learn via sa-learn on an file which i can process.

Questions about dbox (sdbox?), mdbox
Hello,
So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox
stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive.
My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for
production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the
other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with
running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one
