I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from UW-IMAP. I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc. hidden namespaces. The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix. In

Greetings. I've got a poorly conceived and implemented system I'm trying to migrate off of. Right now we've got 20K accounts or so, in mbox form, under UW-IMAP. Eventually we're going to move to Maildir format, but the first step is to move to Dovecot on one of our imap servers as a proof of concept. In other words, all config changes have to take place on the dovecot

Is there a way to change the name of the .subscriptions file that dovecot looks for to .mailboxlist to be compatible with WU-IMAP? It would be handy for testing and conversion if you had that. BTW - I'm a new user and your software is very well designed. -- Marc Perkel - marc at perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

Hello, we like to use dovecot, but our old imapd used to store the paths of the folder in the file ~/.mailboxlist. This file contains something like this: mail/read mail/dovecot .netscape/imap/mailbox .Mail/foo Each line with a path to one mbox folder. And please pay attention that there is no path to the inbox, because this is stored on the server... Is there a way to use this

Timo, Running v1.1.1 on OS X. What is dovecot trying to tell me here? Jun 24 15:03:50 G518X2 dovecot: IMAP(jjohnson): Sort IDs 4 broken in mailbox INBOX, reseting Thank you!

The Dovecot Wiki is quite clear regarding its vacation auto-reply mechanism http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve and under what circumstances the automatic replies will NOT be sent. However, is it possible to manually add a list of envelope senders that the script will not respond to? Thank you, B. Bodger

I've mostly finished a conversion from an old Centos 3 UW-Imap server to a new Centos 6 dovecot server. I did not copy the old ~/.mailboxlist file to ~/mail/.subscriptions file, but notice some users have the latter file now. These are all mbox folders on the old and new server. I'm getting ready to do the same to another old/new pair of servers and I'm wondering if there is an

Timo, Running v1.0.0 The convert plugin works pretty damn good! No need to mess with external utilities. One comment, though: Running here on OS X, I configured it with this convert_mail line: convert_mail = mbox:~/Library/Mail/IMAP/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir The IMAP directory was renamed to IMAP-converted after the process but the inbox (in

Background: We are a UW-IMAP shop, using mbox format. (!) We are in the process of upgrading to Dovecot, hopefully to 1.0 proper. :) One of the modifications we have been using in test versions of Dovecot involve the move of the user subscription file from: IMAP-root/.subscriptions to: $HOME/.mailboxlist Rather than having to make changes to Dovecot source code each time a new release

Hi, I've got a lot of users using uw-imapd(yah, yah, I know) I'd like to get them off of that and onto dovecot at some point in the indeterminate future. so excluding bizarre path resolution things that uw-imapd has left around. is it more or less cp ~/mailboxlist ~/mail/subscriptions? It looks like that - but I wanted to verify :) thanks -sv

Hello! I am running a site that has two servers, 10 000 users in both, Solaris 9 and home directories with mbox mailboxes shared with NFS. Indexes are kept separately in both server, on local disks, both servers are serving imap (from NFS mboxes). We are trying to convert from uw-imap to dovecot. Servers are currently running on their limits and now i have mysterious problems with

Hello. I'm in the final stages of installing Dovecot on a new server, and then will be migrating user mailboxes from an older server that was using UW-IMAP. I realize that I will have to rename the ".mailboxlist" file to ".subscriptions". But, I have a question about the "mail/" directory part that appears for most mailboxes in each users .mailboxlist file:

Haven't seen a thread discussing forcing rebuilding of indexes / cache, so the question is, if these files in a users home directory were deleted... -rw------- 1 bb admin 80 May 17 15:05 dovecot-keywords -rw------- 1 bb admin 85449 Jul 2 06:15 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 bb admin 6832 Jul 2 06:15 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 bb admin 752640 Jul 2 06:19

Hi, I am running dovecot 0.99-14 on a Fedora Core 2 machine. I had a few questions: 1) I wanted to upgrade to the dovecot-1.0 release. However, I am not sure if that's really required. dovecot-0.99-14 has been running very well for me for quite some time. Is there a real advantage to switching to the latest release. The reason I'm asking this is because: i) I don't have too

Read this in the dovecot sieve wiki: "The envelope sender is taken from a Return-Path: header in the message. The envelope recipient is taken from -d option passed to deliver." Is "-d" still a valid deliver switch? When I configure postfix's main.cf like so... mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d -e ..it sqwaks with, "Jun 18 18:44:50

Hello, I am currently working on a patch to add IMAPdir support to dovecot. (For those who do not know, IMAPdir is exactly like Maildir except that instead of having a folder .foo it would just be foo. The advantage is that the file system is slightly easier to search through without the dot in front of the folders.) The first thing I did was get the configuration file working for Maildir.

I thought this would be relatively straightforward....I would create .subscriptions by doing an ls -1 of ~/mail. I'm running into some problems. 1) the ~/mail directories haves directories in them for 5% of the accounts! AFAIK, our mail sevice has always been UWIMAP with mbox format INBOXes, and it was my understanding that the mbox format is flat and NOT hierarchical and thus I'd

I'd like to request some feed back from any OS X Mail Admins on the list, please. Currently running 10.4.9 here using postfix / dovecot and I'm about to take the plunge from mbox to maildir. I just migrated from uw-imap to dovecot. As you're aware, users inbox's are customarily stored in /var/mail/% username and personal folders under /Users/%username/Library/Mail/IMAP.

Im working on upgrading to dovecot-1.0.7 from version 1.0.3 which I installed using yum. I backed up my init.d stuff so everything still works. However, when I shutdown my old dovecot version and start the new, I get an empty mailbox when logging into mail. My current config for dovecot.conf on version 1.0.3 has this for my mailbox location:mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

Greetings. On our 1.2.9 setup, we are finding that .mailboxlist (we recompiled to use this name rather than .subscriptions) ends up in the user's ~/mail folder. We'd like this file to be stored in ~/ instead. Is this possible without changing namespaces (for UW compatibility) and/or userdb mail location?
