similar to: avoiding getting maildir cur/ folder contents?

Hi ALL... I want to know if the files in /Maildir/cur & /Maildir/.Sent are modified by dovecot. I have a script which calculates the age of the mail files. I think that if they are continuously modified by dovecot I won't be able to calculate the age of the files. Can Anyone plz advise on this.... Thanks CoolAtt

i'm tired of dealing with buggy clients so i'm moving more processing into the server-side. i configured procmail as LDA with maildir-style mailboxes. i would like to simulate an automatic "mark as read" feature during procmail processing. simplest way looks to be forcing delivery directly to Maildir/cur instead of Maildir/new, but i suspect this may screw up dovecot. will

Hi, I have tried to use the same Maildir dovecot uses with another program and encountered the problem that Dovecot seems to move files from new to cur in maildir-sync.c::maildir_scan_dir without adding an info part. On the page http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html is written that mails have to be renamed to uniq:info when moved to the cur directory. Could this be a bug in dovecot? --

Hi All. I want to know how filenames are changed by dovecot e,g more details on how it renames the files when a mail is read. For read mails i found that it appends an S. 1264579250.P22376Q0M765148.ecs,S=1161:2 1264579250.P22376Q0M765148.ecs,S=1161:2,S Want to know if other modifications done in file names in INBOX & in SENT (maildir/.Sent/cur) Thanks CoolAtt

Hi I've added a server-side feature where authenticated customers sending through our SMTP server have their outbound mail copied to their Sent folder (like Gmail does). The delivery script called by qmail calls dovecot-lda to deliver it to the user's Sent folder. The problem now, is that the Sent folder shows the mail as unread, which MUAs flag (and notify, in the case of some).

I'm seeing two bogus messages appearing my Maildir/cur directory. They're dovecot.index.log and dovecot-uidlist. -rw------- 1 gsexton users 51 Feb 4 09:04 Maildir/cur/dovecot-uidlist:2,S -rw------- 1 gsexton users 244 Feb 4 09:04 Maildir/cur/dovecot.index.log These files are only appearing in the Maildir/cur directory, and not in any other directory that mail is delivered to (e.g.

Hi all, I have tried very hard to solve this problem but turn to the mailing list as a last resort. In the log I get, for just one account: Jul 31 09:06:17 bickertons dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<matthew>, method=PLAIN, rip=78.130.81.201, lip=168.143.5.18, TLS Jul 31 09:06:17 bickertons dovecot: IMAP(matthew): Effective uid=1003, gid=1003, home=/home/matthew Jul 31 09:06:17

Hi, folks! How to notify dovecot that maildir contents is changed by third-party helper? My script performs spam cleanup, but all index/cache files (dovecot-uidlist, dovecot.index, dovecot.index.cache and dovecot.index.log) still unchanged, so, Web-frontend (IlohaMail over IMAP) displays taht mailbox contents isn't refreshed. Dovecot 1.0-alpha5 under FreeBSD 4.11. mail =

I (finally) moved over to Maildir storage here and would like to implement some "scripts" to manage taking actions on emails manually identified as misclassified as spam/ham. After reading through the Dovecot 2 description of how it works to try to see how it interacts with other processes changing the files. I'm concerned that I would be corrupting the message indexes if I just

Hi again, I'm still trying to find out if anyone knows the correct way to either switch the existing Maildir multiple file format to the single file format I believe known as MBox. Failing that, though it'll mean a LOT of work for me to manually convert all of the existing Maildirs, how do I get dovecot to work in future in MBox single file format. I tried

When might deduplication of attachments work with maildir?

Hey all, I've got a couple servers using Maildir format. As I understand it from a simple perspective, 'new' contains newly delivered messages, and 'cur' contains messages that have been 'handled'. I like to keep things simple for users, so rather than have 'Spam', 'Junk' 'ToLearn' and other possibly confusing folders, what I thought I would

Hi, How do i convert from Maildir to dbox using the convert plugin? My users reside in /home/user/Maildir. In the dovecot.conf file i've set up convert_mail = dbox:%h but I am not sure about the syntax. Im getting the error: Couldn't create mailbox directory INBOX Mailbox conversion failed, exiting Thanks -- Kjartan

Hello Actually we use MBOX format for all our IMAP access but users complain they cannot create subfolders in imap folders, of course they cannot because of MBOX format ... I need gurus advices on changing mailbox format Maildir of Dbox ? What would be the safest way to go ? Note : we extensively use Thunderbird here. Thanks

Hello; We are using maildir quotas and have found differences in many users in respect to what system command are showing and doveadm quotas. For example, four user test, we have: doveadm quota get -u test Quota name Type Value Limit % STORAGE 98066 102400 95

Hey all, So I've got a shared namespace in dovecot where users can, via a custom control panel, share their folders into (which creates a symlink) in order to allow anyone on their domain to access it. I store mail in maildir. The issue is that when people share folders, they expect that when they make subfolders, those are automatically shared as they are contained within it.
