dovecot 2.0.13 using LDAP and proxying IMAP4 and POP3 to gmail
Fellow dovecot users/contributors,
I am building a POP3/IMAP4 proxy solution for an enterprise, where users can login with their common username and then they get single sign-on to all kinds of different applications in the backend. Some of these applications are SaaS apps like gmail. For gmail in particular, I want dovecot to solve the following issues for me:

gmail-migration: archived mails in \ALL
Hi,
I don't completly understand
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Gmail
I can't find the documentation for the -a and the -F Flag.
I'd like to migrate ONLY archived mails from an existing gmail-Account.
So I'd have to import all Mails from the \ALL-Folder that does NOT have
any virtual folder flags set.
I tried to use this command:
doveadm -D -o imapc_user=user at

Script to convert mboxes to maildirs?
Does anybody know of a script of a simple method of
converting mbox mail stores to maildirs? I'm moving
from an old pop3 system to imap and after installing
about half our office with mboxes have found that mbox
does not support subfolders which some people like to
use.
Is there any simple way of converting? I can go to
each individual account and "manually" convert swaping
data

Best way to migrate from Qpopper to Dovecot
Hi List,
what do you think is the best way to migrate (to a new maschine) round
about 30000 mboxes (Qpopper) with an amount of 43Gigs data, to maildir
format (Dovecot).
I think there are two ways:
1.
- stop services (smtp and pop3) on the old maschine
- copy the mboxes to the new maschine
- run a conversion script (for excample: "Perfect_maildir"
http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/)

batch convert mbox to maildir
Hello,
I have used mb2md for an individual user like this:
su ~username
cd ~
./mb2md -m
This converted /var/spool/mail/username mbox to
/home/users/username/Maildir just as I expected.
To convert 100s of users the same way would be a chore (su as each user
for permissions, etc.).
Is there a way to batch process all /var/spool/mail/$USER to
/home/users/$USER/Maildir with the correct

How to pull /var/mail mbox leftovers to Maildirs?
I just got my preferred postfix+dovecot(-1.1.1) configuration working on
Ubuntu 8.04 server. Users and Maildirs migrated, etc.
I wasn't seeing inbound mail (in the email client) until I set:
sudo postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/'
Which I hadn't needed in the previous server's main.cf
I have a few hours worth of inbound mostly-spam in /var/mail/(username)
during the time

dovecot rpms, .subscriptions file, mbox to maildir
Hi,
I am running dovecot 0.99-14 on a Fedora Core 2 machine. I had a few
questions:
1) I wanted to upgrade to the dovecot-1.0 release. However, I am not
sure if that's really required. dovecot-0.99-14 has been running very
well for me for quite some time. Is there a real advantage to switching
to the latest release. The reason I'm asking this is because:
i) I don't have too

UIDL question
Hi all,
I'm migrating a Postfix + Dovecot 1.0 server with mboxes to Qmail + Dovecot
1.4 with Maildirs and encounter the following the problem.
Using perfect-maildir.pl from: http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/ i can
relatively succesfully convert the mbox to a Maildir. The problem, however
is that clients with "leave mail on server" set to on retrieve all email a
2nd time.

Migrating from mbox to maildir, which converter is compatible with dovecot
Hi,
I'm testing/debuging the migration from mbox to maildir in a mailserver
running Dovecot 1.0alpha5.
I migrated all 472715 emails(in a test server) and later noted that dovecot
could not get the same flags/status of the emails as in the mbox.
I was using perfect_maildir.pl and I think its not dovecot fault. Seems
to me that perfect_maildir.pl convert the emails in a way that dovecot
could

Mixing mbox and maildir
Is there some way to add a maildir folder to a mbox hierarchy? My folders
are all mbox, but I want to migrate some client-side mail from a client
(PMMail2000) that stores messages as individual files, and it might be
easiest just to dump all the files into a maildir directory with suitable
naming.

My sub-folder with Outlook work-around to date
Hi David,
I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from per-user-settings. I had this once when migrating from maildir to mdbox.
You might want to use Google and the mailing list archives for the details but in summary it went like this:
- set Dovecot to grab the mail_location from user-settings (I think we used MySQL db field - or check docs for auto:)
- have login

conversion to maildir
is really a royal pain in the butt. most of the conversion tools only do a
partial job. mb2md seems to be the best but it does not convert the from line
correctly unless you are using exim for an MTA. It also does not get the file
status right so everything is written to the new maildir directory. something
else that makes the process painful is when you have folders containing
mailboxes.

Convert plugin
Hi,
I'm trying to convert users from a sendmail server to a postfix/dovecot
server. All works fine but one of the last things is to rescue the
messages in /var/mail/<user> on the old server. This seems very
straitforward using the convert plugin but with the settings from the
wiki, nothing happens when the user logs in. Do I need a private
namespace for this as suggested elsewhere

MBOX to MAILDIR conversion
Thinking about going from mbox to maildir. Started with mbox way back
when but thinking about making the conversion. The main reason is that I
use rsync for backups and when these huge mailboxes are touched I have
to copy the whole thing. With maildir I only copy the files that change.
So - my questions is - what's the easiest way to make this happan. I
assume there are conversion

Convert mbox to maildir
Hello all
I?ve installed a new Server with dovecot, started using it and had no
problems until I noticed that I couldn?t create sub-sub-folders on my imap
account, I?ve read for the past two days info on how to convert and I know
now that instead of using mbox I need to user maildir, the issue is now to
convert mbox to maildir, on the various searches I did, I found the convert

mbox to maildir batch conversion
Hello,
I'm upgrading my mail server from UW to Dovecot and I'd like to convert
from mbox to maildir. I've successfully convert myself and a few other
users with the mb2md script. All is well.
My question is, I have somewhere around 500 users and about 122gb of
mail folders to convert (this does not include the inbox at /var/mail).
mb2md needs to be run as each user to convert.

My sub-folder with Outlook work-around to date
Thanks for the reply MJ.
Good to hear it works in MailDir format - might need to look at this.
To date I have only had this issue with Outlook and for me personally on
Fedora with Thunderbird, I tend to keep a heap of e-mail folders without
sub-foldering and have my own little Linux 'utopia' of annually
archiving folders etc using the Linux scripting environment, so I never

My sub-folder with Outlook work-around to date
Wow excellent feedback Joseph, Philon and Aki,
You have all pointed me in the right direction. Tonight I have tested
Dovecot with just the minor configs I do for Dovecot setup and I have
commented out the mbox/Maildir lines in 10-mail.conf from my testing:
#mail_location =
#mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
#mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
I had run up some test files

Understanding migrateuser.sh
I'm sure it comes from my being a gormless idiot, but whatever is the
-UKWS argument immediately after the mb2md.pl invocation?
> $MB2MD -UKWS -s "$INBOX" -d "$WORKING"
As always, reading the idiom of someone else's scripting is an
education. And some of it wouldn't work with native AIX sh/ksh, so
changed the functions:
