similar to: Courier migrating issues: indexes, maildirsize, update query

Dear All, We would like to migrate our existing courier to dovecot. After reading document on website and doing some tests, here are some issues we met. 1. According the the wiki, it seems to imply that once migrating from courier to dovecot, pop3 users may "lost/forget" their download "index/ history" which cause them to download again old mails that are kept on

Hi, Im testing with 1.1RC1. I read here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Maildir "If you configure quota limits in Dovecot (e.g. quota=maildir:storage=102400(kilobytes)), Dovecot makes sure that this header is kept up to date. If the file does not exist, it's simply rebuilt." This is my query: password_query = SELECT username as user, username as userdb_user, passwd as password,

Hi all, I'm trying to implement quota support in postfix using maildrop + dovecot but I think dovecot doesn't update info stored in maildirsize file. # 1.0.2: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ listen: 127.0.0.1 ssl_listen: * ssl_ca_file: ... ssl_cert_file: ... ssl_key_file: ... ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable:

Dears Sirs, I've noticed that since the Courier to Dovecot migration have had few problems with the %usage of email accounts as they do not reflect the real use, to fix this I have to manually delete the file maildirsize and run the command vuserinfo user at domain.com, depending on your experience may be the cause of this problem? thanks Jose Luis

Dears Sirs, I hope they can help me with this problem since it is urgent. I've completed the migration from Courier to Dovecot that has been running correctly, the only problem is that maildirsize file is not updated when you delete the emails, resulting in accounts that reach to 100% faster, so I have to manually delete this file. Through Dovecot can be configured to automatically

Hello, My "exim" is doing the deliveries, "dovecot" handles POP/IMAP.

HI All, We have the latest Dovecot 1.1.6 running and I need to migrate some POP3 users over from Courier to Dovecot and would need to convert the courierpop3dsizelist to maintain the UIDs. I just need to confirm that the script (http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl) only works for Dovecot v1.0 and not for v1.1? As the dovecout-uidlist file that is created (by the script) is not

Hi, guys. I've read the information in the Wiki about making dovecot's UID's match Courier's UID's in the POP3 server, so that a UIDL command on either server will return the same UID's for the same group of messages. However, what I've read doesn't match what I'm seeing in Courier. Courier appears to keep the UID numbers for messages that it uses for the POP3

Hello, I'm a recent convert to dovecot from courier-imap and the performance has certainly improved. I'm running the vanilla 1.0.7 version that came with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 distro. I've come across a similar problem that was posted by Ralf Hildebrandt earlier this year under the same subject, but that thread just seems to have died off. I'm also using per- user maildirsize

Hello, I need to migrate from courier-imap to dovecot. I'm trying to use courier-dovecot-migrate.pl to migrate the users' maildirs but I'm getting these messages: --- # courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --to-dovecot --recursive mydomain.com Testing conversion to Dovecot format Finding maildirs under mydomain.com mydomain.com/contact/./Maildir: No imap/pop3 uidlist files

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm having some problems with quota from sql (maildir++) and dovecot + maildrop. I'm using maildrop for MDA and dovecot as IMAP server. When an e-mail arrives, maildrop calculates the quota and updates the 'maildirsize' file. When i use dovecot (webmail, thunderbird) it updates the 'maildirsize' too, overwriting it, but in a

I've been using Dovecot in some fresh installs lately and have found it fairly easy to configure. However I'm starting on a migration that involves moving from some very old software (ancient vpopmail, qmail and Courier). On the Courier front, I've reviewed the migration page in the wiki, and it looks like the main concerns are just matching the namespace and then using the migration

hi list, I've just registered to the list, so please be tolerant ;) I'm currently in the process of planning the migration from courier to dovecot as POP/IMAP-Server. I'm migration from Courier 0.58 (Debian-Etch-packages) to Dovecot 1.1.13 (Debian Lenny Backport). The conversion of the Mailbox from Courier to Dovecot will be done with "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"-script[1],

I've found what I think is an inconsistency in the Maildir quota implementation. According to the Maildir++ quota specification at: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html Maildir++ quota can be specified as maximum size, or maximum number of messages, or even both. The size specification is supposed to be in bytes. So I could use '10000000S' to set a quota of

Hi, I've just straced a dovecot imap process and found one thread sitting there doing hundreds and hundreds of maildirsize updates as follows: > > open("/home/virtual/mydomain.com/home/admin/Maildir/maildirsize", O_RDWR|O_APPEND) = 7 > read(7, "10485760000S\n1562717408 107547\n-"..., 5120) = 2446 > read(7, "", 2674) = 0 >

Hi, I'm coming from courier-imap and i'm trying to migrate to dovecot. I can't find how to create a maildir with a quota file(maildirsize) I saw that if there was a maildirsize it would get its quota from there but can't find how to create that file. I'm using pam auth and would like to set different quotas for each users. With courier-imap there is a useful command :

Hi to all, I am semi-new to the dovecot system, but i like it very much for the versatility of all the system. I have a problem: i am migrating my servers from postfix with vda patch + courier imap to dovecot. All works fine, except for one thing: i use Maildir++ format, but i don't know how to make the file maildirsize into the home of the users. This file is needed by me becouse i have a

Hello dovecot Problem : maildirsize and dovecot quota get have different values dovecot version : 2.2.13 happens with : some mailboxes This issue happens only to some mailboxes and only for a specific period of time until maildirsize gets updated by something (not me). I can't reproduce this now because it happened this morning and now its 2 PM and the problem is gone

Hi, One of my email accounts has 1,5gb of emails in INBOX, but maildirsize shows only 528mb. 'du' also shows 1,5gb and there are 3809 files in cur directory. When I use mailbox status a can see correct values: doveadm -f table mailbox status -u user at domain.sk "messages vsize" INBOX* messages vsize INBOX 3809 1521049349 but when I check the quotas with doveadm:

Thanks, but this is most probably different issue. My maildirsize is computed incorrectly even if I delete it completely and let dovead recompute it so expunging is not in the game. Is there any way how to track/debug the recomputation algorithm in dovecot? On Wed, Aug 24, 2016 at 12:02 AM, WJCarpenter <bill-dovecot at carpenter.org> wrote: > A long shot, but here's how I
