Maturity of dbox
Hi,
I am contemplating migrating from maildir to dbox. However, I wonder
about the maturity of the dbox code, as it appears to not be widely
used. Does anybody have some success stories?
My primary driver is to have non-changing file names, and thus smaller
backup deltas. Are there other advantages that I should pursue?
I read in the wiki that the migration is straightforward, but I did not

Questions regarding dbox migration
It has been my wish to move to dbox for a long time hoping to reduce the
number of writes which is really killing us.
Now I wonder what may be the best way of doing so. I'm considering some
sort of intermediate migration where the existing Maildir users are
changed to single-dbox and then later upgraded to 2.0 and changed to
multi-dbox when it becomes stable.
But is this a reasonable task

Dovecot v1.2.rc5 dbox file permissions
Hi Timo,
I've just setup Dovecot v1.2.rc5 and switched the mailbox format of one
account to dbox. Therefor I've created an empty directory, called dbox,
with access mode 0700, like the user's home directory.
After the IMAP login with Thunderbird some dboxes was created. All
permissions were set fine (0700 / 0600), except the permissions for the
files:

dbox - how to awaken the monster
Hello people,
Since the invention of this storage called dbox, I have never quite gotten
round to understanding it, nor getting to use it. It seems so strange to me
and I must ask a few stupid questions about it.
I use the MTA to deliver mail to Maildir, either in ~/Maildir or
/some/path/%d/%n/Maildir. It has always beat me how dbox comes into play
under such circumstances. From the wiki, I see

Questions about dbox (sdbox?), mdbox
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

The 'dbox' Format
I'd like to give the dbox format a try, but I could not find any information on how to enable it. There's information on how to set mail_location for the Maildir and mbox formats in the wiki and also in the commented configuration file, but how to set it for dbox is strangely missing. I took a guess with 'mail_location = dbox:~/dbox', but that didn't work, so it's probably

Splitting a WAV file to aid gapless playback
Assuming I have a WAV file that represents a continous performance, e.g. a
recording of a live concert, which I want to play continously on a CD but
nevertheless have track marks so that individual items can be selected some
WAV splitting programs offer the ability to split the file into pieces which
are an exact multiple of the CD sector size so that when recording all these

Dbox Upgrade Problem With MAILBOXDIR
Hi.
Trying to upgrade from Dovecot 1.1.11 to 1.1.13 but having a problem
with imap process segfaulting. Backtrace is below. I presume it's
related to these MAILBOXDIR changes but the only documentation is the
single line in the news for changing to ":MAILBOXDIR=mailboxes" when
using dbox.
Current configuration is "mail_location = dbox:~/Mail" so what exactly

Get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder
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.

mdbox: Cannot create subfolder called "dbox-Mails" (2.0beta5)
I am trying out "mdbox" under Dovecot 2.0beta5.
Looking in the "mailboxes" directory under the mdbox storage root
("~/dbox" in my case), I can see that the mail folders are mapped into
filesystem directories.
But Dovecot seems to put all the message list information

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

dbox problem
Hi,
I have just tested the dbox format mailbox, it works fine.
But when I create dir through imap with `create` command, it only
creates the dir onder ~/dbox/mailboxes, such as
~/dbox/mailboxes/newfolder. There was no `dbox-Mails` dir created. So
the newfolder was 'noselect'.
But the new folders created by `autocreate` plugin was correct.

stupid migration from maildir+ to dbox
Hello.
I'm install latest dovecot 1.2 from hg repo. I have many messages in
maildir+ format. I migrate some folders to dbxo format using
instructions from http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox.
But in two folders i'm delete index.cache and index.log files, this is
my mistake.
Is that possible to recover this files (regenerate) or use my messages
from maildir with dbox?

maildir vs dbox?
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.

Dbox and Exim
The Dovecot wiki [1] doesn't list either Exim, Postfix or anything
else as supporting the dbox. I did some searching in the Exim
archives and have found only one message mentioning dbox, sdbox or
mdbox. [2] I think an RFC would go a long way towards getting the
format supported. Has Timo, or anyone else, considered submitting an
RFC to the IETF?
My question was how are we going to use it
