Hello This is a bit off Dovecot but ... I'm searching some software to mirror mailboxes and IMAP forlders from the mailhub to another (clone) computer.

Does somebody has the same problem ? -- Cordialement Frank Bonnet

Hello I use real unix users on the mailhub and I would like to automate home directories creation for new users.

Hey List, I'm using Samba 3.0.24 and OpenLDAP 2.3.30 (with the ppolicy and smbk5pwd overlays). While testing Samba as a PDC with an OpenLDAP backend, I've hit a snag on password change.

Hello We are planning to convert our mailhub ( freebsd 7.4 ) from mbox format to maildir format. I've read the documentation and performed some tests on another machine it is a bit long ...

Hello I'm going to change the raid array of my mailhub in fews days/weeks and I wonder if it would be a good idea to take the opportunity of this migration to also change the storage method from mailbox to maildir. I've never used maildir on my production server only on small satellites. So I really need advice of admins that use maildir format on prod servers. My server has approx

Hello We actually use MBOX format on our mailhub but this does not permit to create IMAP subfolders. Many users are asking me fot this feature and I agree with them of course. My problem is to choose the format that will permit imap subfolders creation. Maildir is not my favorite format and I wonder about MDBOX. Does it permit imap subfolders creation ? It is possible to convert from MBOX to

Dear all, I have installed many PC infrastructures with Samba and Windows roaming profiles working successfully and fast with installations of around 100 users. But now, a customer of mine is asking if this is possible for around 1500 users.

Hello IMAP users here have a *lot* of folders living in their mailhub home directory Converting the INBOX doesn't seems to be a problem I've found scripts that do the job :-) But How to convert IMAP folders from UW format ( one file / folder ) to dovecot format which seems much more sophisticated.

Using simple authentication I have been able to tie FDS to Samba 3.x.24. Knowing that the unix passwd and smb passwd are different, dare I ask how difficult it would be to have them sync? Most of my users are using netatalk w/ posix user info and MD5 password. I would like to swing this over to samba without the worries of two passwords per user. I have seen blips on this but not directly related
