similar to: Exclude dovecot-uidlist files from a Maildir backup ?

Hi, Is there an IMAP performance difference using Maildir between using version 3 and version 1 of the dovecot-uidlist (either dovecot 1.0.7 or 1.1.2)? It isn't entirely clear to me there is any difference as the filename may contain the size/vsize information. The servers will eventually be running 1.1.2 with the maildir_copy_preserve_filename turned on. I'm doing a batch migration

Hello all, Is there a way to use LMTP (or LDA) so that maildir index and dovecot-uidlist are not updated? My setup is such that mail delivery sees user's maildir as write only. This setup works well when using postfix for mail delivery, but when I try to switch to dovecot LMTP the lmtp process wants to read the dovecot-uidlist and fails on insufficient privileges. Is there a way around this

Hi. So I just moved my email over from mbox to maildir. For the most part the conversion went fine, but I had a bit of an odd thing happen when I accessed my mail through dovecot. It seems that when I ran mb2md to convert my mailboxes from mbox to maildir, I got a lot of messages created that look like 1142356176.000000.mbox:2,RS 1142356176.000421.mbox:2,S 1142356176.000001.mbox:2,S

Hi all, after inserting another sieve-rule, I get the following backtrace on deliver. The mail gets delivered into the Mailbox, but as deliver does not exit with 0, postfix bounces the mail. The additional rule is the same as all others in my .dovecot-sieve: > require ["fileinto", "include"]; > > if header :contains ["From"]

Hi, I have just discovered that the IMAP account setup wizard in outlook 2019 assumes that the email address for a user is the same as their username, and there is no easy way to separately enter different user. (It can be done via hidden dialog boxes, command line switches and registry hacking, but it is far from easy [1]) Like many small setups, the dovecot accounts on my mail server map

Hello, In what situations will Dovecot 1.2.11 rebuild its uidlist? I am using the maildir storage format, and I am also modifying the uidlist manually (so it's possible I could jack* things up). I have found some related code in maildir-uidlist.c: maildir_uidlist_next. 1) Blank filename or UID 0 2) Any UID not being greater than the proceeding UID 3) Any UID being greater than ~4 billion. 4)

In both 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 (probably also before that, but dont have logs) im seeing quite a few of these: Nov 17 12:45:12 userimap10.xs4all.nl dovecot: IMAP(xxxxxxx): /var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/c/c0/xxxxxxx/INBOX/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line 2650: 1257768394._smtp.mxdrop238.41874,S=17304:2,Sad (uid 34270 -> 37166) I never really looked at it because it doesnt seem

I have a scenario where I have two users, one account (user1) with it's own Maildir account, and another account (user2) (which I wish to see the same messages) with a symlinked Maildir to user1's Maildir.? I.E.: /home/user1/Maildir /home/user2/Maildir (where this Maildir is symlinked to /home/user1/Maildir) Both users are in a group together (usergroup), and so all of the permissions

Hi all, Lets say I have a maildir which doesn't contain any dovecot files but has some emails lying around in it. If I add a message to this mailbox using deliver, dovecot creates the uidlist file with a single entry (the message that was just delivered). When I then log in to the mailbox, all the other messages are added into the uidlist file in the normal order (directory list order I

Hi, ?Am using dovecot-2.2.10-8 on Centos-7 and everything seemed to be totally fine for many years. Now am trying to migrate our on-premises mail server to the cloud and I had to get some statistics. I was doing that using the doveadm utility. Unfortunately I found that the numbers don't match if I check the real messages in my Maildirs. For some account doveadm was reporting number of

My dovecot server seems to randomly begin giving errors to pop3 users who try to fetch their email. Once this begins, they see no more new mail, though the mail is in cur.

When I use this: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n the dovecot-uidlist file is located in: /home/mail/example.com/user/dovecot-uidlist But when I change it to: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/%d/%n then it's stored in: /var/mail/example.com/user/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist Any idea why is not stored in: /var/mail/example.com/user/dovecot-uidlist ?

Tried that. It rebuilds index based on dovecot-uidlist. But not the dovecot-uidlist based on actual mail data. :( Fil On March 21, 2018 11:58:21 PM EDT, "@lbutlr" <kremels at kreme.com> wrote: >On 2018-03-21 (17:15 MDT), Dmitry Filonov ><filonovd at enders.tch.harvard.edu> wrote: >> Now the question is if there's any way to tell dovecot to rebuild

Hello Everyone: ????? Is it possible to direct dovecot to modify dovecot-uidlist automatically??? I have some user who use ancient MUA(i.e. Openwebmail) and IMAP/POP3. Since Openwebmail will insert "Status: R" in the eml file,the size of the eml file will increase by 10 bytes. If the user use Openwebmail first,then the size record(S=xxxx) in dovecot-uidlist will be fine. But if he

Ever since I've migraded from courier pop3 to dovecot pop3 I'm constantly getting complains from users that went over system quota for short while and then their pop3 client downloads all messages again. I never happened with courier pop3. I think that dovecot does not handle dovecot-uidlist file safely so it can withstand such situations. rsync and other similar programs always writes to
