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. Dave.

Hello, I've got dovecot 2.3 going, and I've got a file 10-mailcrypt.conf which is loading mail_crypt, thinking that that plugin would propagate through all the services, sieve, lmtp, and mailbox message storage. I'm not seeing anything in the logs indicating that the encryption is happening. I am using a file format dbox specifically sdbox format, and in my mailbox I am seeing files

Hello, Thanks, I think I have it. The message files the u5 and u6 files are showing up as data, and they sure look encrypted to me. One thing is there a way to get logging of output of the mail_crypt module? What I'm wanting to have if possible is a user gets a message, the logs show message being encrypted, then stored to disk?

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

I've updated http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation regarding a typical mail_location entry for dbox. Previously it said: mail_location = dbox:~/dbox but of course "dbox" is now the old name for "sdbox", so the example should be updated to say "sdbox" and there might/ought also to be an example for "mdbox". In

Hey Aki, DIRNAME with empty value has no effect, just like with FULLDIRNAME. "~/sdbox" instead of "~/" doesn't change that..

Hey again, sorry, but I have to correct me: Even with dot it's not working completely. The subscriptions file is not created and the dovecot-acl file has the wrong path, too. :-( Greetings, Hativ Am 07.07.2018 um 02:26 schrieb Hativ: > Hey again, > > I've found a working configuration: mail_location = sdbox:~/:FULLDIRNAME=. > > I use a dot instead of slash or empty

Hey to all, is it possible to get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder when using sdbox? Currently my folder structure looks like this (I hope the output from tree would be formatted well): /srv/mail/ ??? example.com ??? ??? user ??????? ??? dovecot-acl-list ??????? ??? dovecot-attributes ??????? ??? dovecot.list.index.log ??????? ??? dovecot.mailbox.log ??????? ???

Hello, I'm having an issue or two with my new Dovecot setup. I'm running version 2.3.6 new setup, and using sdbox as the mailbox format. I'm getting the following warning: Jun 16 13:57:16 mail dovecot[9583]: lmtp(59153): Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota Jun 16 13:57:16 mail dovecot[9583]: lmtp(username at

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

Hello, I've got a Dovecot virtual email setup using maildir as the mailbox format. I am wondering from others who have chosen dbox a comparison between maildir and dbox or those who have migrated from one format to another. I am wondering if changing to dbox would be beneficial? Thanks. Dave.

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

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

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.

Hello, Thanks for all the replies. I've added a mailbox to the namespace definition for the public folders. I can do a doveadm acl get -A "Public/general" works but "Public/TestFolder" does not. Here's my 90-public.conf file: #cat 90-public.conf # Public mailboxes namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location =

Hello I have read carefully about dbox (/http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox/) and I have some questions: - One of the main advantages (speed wise) of dbox over maildir is that index files are the only storage for message flags and keywords. What happens when we want to recover some messages from backup? With maildir we can rebuild message indexes, but I am not sure about
