similar to: OT: Run Sieve On A Mailbox Manually

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

Currently mailbox names are stored in IMAP's modified-UTF-7 format in filesystem. I was wondering about changing this in v2.0. The default would still be to use mUTF-7 in filesystem, but just adding :UTF8 or something to mail_location could enable UTF-8. Any thoughts? Could this be dangerous somehow? UTF-8 enables a lot of weird characters, perhaps no one really wants to see them on

From the Dovecot 1.0.1 sample dovecot.conf file: # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu ... # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which was # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good # idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. #

Could you offer some suggestion how to fetch mailbox content over high RTT link (with negligible packet loss)? Currently I use IMAP+IDLE *but* it fails to use full available bandwidth due to high RTT and "send command wait for response" nature of POP3 and IMAP4 protocols. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi at onet.eu Learning without thought is labor lost; thought

I'm looking for some help with an nfs error that is filling our logs. I get a constant stream of these messages: Jul 8 10:47:08 servername dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(username): nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy I have two dovecot IMAP servers.

I'd like to download a complete mail archive so that I can browse for problems concerning Mulberry. Is this possible, or can I only get them in monthly gulps? Cheers, Terry. --

I'm working on migrating to Dovecot. At the moment, I have a mail path that includes the domain, so I'm using %d to get that. However, if users authenticate without specifying a domain (i.e. using "bob" instead of "bob at wiktel.com"), then %d expands to nothing. I'd like to have that expand to a default domain (wiktel.com) instead. Is that possible? Thanks,

I have a phone (LG CU320) with a built-in IMAP client. However, it has some issues. For one, the phone crashes if there are greater than some-as-of-yet-determined-number-of folders. That can't be worked around at the server, but this one can: After a long session of staring at tcpdump, it appears that when it logs in it does so like this: a001 LOGIN "username" myPassword

We are running into a situation where Dovecot master is simply trying to do too much. It some situations, we are finding that there are times in which it cannot service requests. Restarting Dovecot seems to help in these situations, possibly due to the fact that it no longer has to manage its THOUSANDS of file descriptors for pipes to the many imap/proxy processes that it uses for logging. Is

Greetings all, I'm trying to get an understanding of a problem we are facing here. We're currently running dovecot 1.0-beta3 and have a long standing issue of system crashes on our mail server (Debian Linux 2.4.27-2-k7-smp). Here's what is happening: The machine hangs and the system load climbs as high as 80.0+. Yet, the system response is not effected. Command line is still

Hello list, my name is Steven and of course: I got a problem... we are using dovecot 0.99 because it?s the actual stable version for RedHat 4 Enterprise.

Could we have a centos-offtopic list please, so anything that would be considered OT can be posted there? That way it would keep anything considered as OT and list-noise off the main centos specific list. So each users then has the option of being on the main centos list, and/or the centos-offtopic list as well. That would keep the more experienced centos users happy, and allow us less

So....apparently I have some messages which are not RFC compliant sitting in my mailboxes (mostly older ones), and I have some software which is refusing to handle such messages. 1. Does anyone know of a nice way to verify that all my messages are compliant/find those that aren't? (I suppose I could use the existing failing software, but I was hoping for something a little more robust...) 2.

[offtopic] btw, is there something wrong with the domain? i couldn''t reach the site, my browser said the hostname lartc.org (or www.lartc.org) doesn''t exist, i had to dig up the ip address through whois, lookups and stuff. [/offtopic]

Hi, Does FASTIPSec in FreeBSD use OCF framework ? Where can I find more documentation ? I wish to run cryptographic algorithms after setting a VPN. What command should I use to run a particular crytographic algorithm (e.g. 3DES etc.) Where can I find all such information ? -- Regards, Bubble

Hi, I've heard that for Dovecot/Mailir systems there are filesystems that are optimised for the situation of many small files in one folder. Could I possibly have some feedback on what the recommended filesystems are? I've heard of ReiserFS but was wondering what other options there are and how they compare. If I get a good comprehensive response I'll build a wiki summary page

Hello List, i switched mailformat from mbox to maildir. Now i have a little problem with procmail/formail and headermanipulation of mails. Here an example: 0 * ^From.*gmx.de | (formail -t -I"procmail: gmx.de") >> /var/spool/mail/xxxxxx So, i can add some different headerlines for later evaluation and the result is attached to inbox. Now i have the problem that i don't know
