similar to: Hierarchy separator recommendation?

The dot '.' will work, but I suggest to follow documentation here: https://wiki1.dovecot.org/Namespaces, And it says: A commonly used separator is '/'. It probably causes the least amount of trouble with different IMAP clients And I already had problems using '.' as a namespace separator. On 2020-04-24 15:56, Sami Ketola wrote: > >> On 24.

Hi Friends, I would like to ask you a suggestion: I need to migrate a imap server to a new one and then dismiss the old one. Reading from relative Dovecot documentation page (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration), more tools are shown: UW-IMAP's mailutil, imapsync, YippieMove and Larch. The each mail servers are Linux based, one of this (mine) is Dovecot. Based on your experience which of

thanks a lot for your input!

Hello dovecot community, I've setup dovecot and need a bit help in understanding the auth mechanism digest-md5 and realm in 10-auth.conf I got auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 apop #auth_realms = #auth_default_realm = So i got empty realms. Auth normally works fine and clients can auth with mechanism digest-md5 and I see the following log entries: dovecot: auth: Debug:

Well, I've been doing some research, and it seems that msoutlook 2016 and 2019 doesn't quite have imap idle support. The odd part, is that when i had DBMail, it was IDLE'ing (i swear), Would dbmail send something different that make it work? It was an old version of dbmail, 2.3.7 i believe, from about 2012 or so. And no, it wasn't the outlook options "send/receive", i

Hi All! I am working on a complete migration from an old solaris machine running Cyrus IMAP v2.3.14 and wish to migrate all users to a new ubuntu vm running Dovecot 2.0.19. What I have so far is a fully functional dovecot installation with LDAP / Dovecot SASL auth using Maildir++. My plan is to use Perdition IMAP proxy on a third host and migrate users a few at a time (see attached picture of

Hi, I am Migrating an old cyrus mailserver to dovecot. in the old cyrus Mailserver all User Mailboxes are sub-mailboxes of their INBOX. I have to preserve that structure. During Migration with dsync I get these Errors: Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted Is there a way to work around these Errors ? Thanks Christoph

I thought I'd try benchmarking with dbmail (v2.2.4) to see how much slower a SQL backend could actually be. Skip to bottom for the conclusions. Originally I ran the tests with the databases being in XFS filesystem. MySQL's performance was horrible. It went 3-7x faster with ext3. MySQL 5.0.30 backend (innodb): ./imaptest clients=1 - append=100 seed=1 secs=30 msgs=1000000 logout=0

I am currently using Cyrus IMAPd, and been using it for a long time, the main reason being that I want an IMAP server with nice server-side filtering, which Cyrus provides via Sieve. Given that Sieve is integrated with Squirrelmail, all is good. Or is it? Cyrus IMAPd is powerful, but it's a complete mess to upgrade, either when upgrading the software per se, or when upgrading the whole

Hi, I want to do a simple backup of my maildir. I read here that maildirlock is not to count on in the future and the recommended option was to use doveadm backup. However, it seems that this requires to setup another dovecot server. My questions are: - How much to I need to configure this new server? Do I need to setup user by user, or even install postfix (that's where my users are
