similar to: Convert plugin mbox to maildir has no effect

I can't find much documentation on the convert_mail plugin. For example, on the wiki plugins page, clicking on convert goes to <http://wiki.dovecot.org/InterWiki> which is not relevant. Can I use convert_mail to migrate from UW IMAP 2002 mbox format where some mail is in ~/ and the inboxes are in /var/spool/mail? Will it know which files are mbox folders, so it doesn't try to

Hello, I'm try to use the convert plugin, but I cannot seem to get it working properly. Is there any setting that I'm missing. -------- dovecot -n # 1.0.10: dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen(default): 127.0.0.1:143 listen(imap): 127.0.0.1:143 listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995

convert_mail = mbox:%h/mail Convert plugin. If set, specifies the source storage path which is converted to destination storage (mail_location) when the user logs in. The existing mail directory is renamed to <dir>-converted. I'm not entirely clear on what this does. If someone can clarify for me, I'll update the Wiki. I'm hoping it'll allow me to convert

I hate to bring up anything that might delay 1.0, but the behavior I'm seeing is rather... weird. I'm running rc31, using "userdb static" and "auth_bind=yes". With rc1 (what I had been running) I would occasionally get some "deferring operation" complaints from LDAP, but very rarely. Every now and then it would start to throw "deferring operation:

To all, I am using dovecot --version 1.0.10 and trying to convert MBOXes to MailDir's with the end goal of creating one folder filled with users old MBOXes that when they log in for the first time will be converted to Mail Dir format. I tried this and it did not work and gave me this output; <snip> default_mail_env = maildir:%h/mail/ #convert_mail =

Hi, I'm trying to get old mail from /var/mail/<user>, where <user> is the (sometimes) huge mailfile, not a directory, converted to the maildir INBOX in ~/Maildir. Users have no ~/mail directory; they were supposed to use pop3 only. I'm trying the example from the wiki: plugin { convert_mail = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%n } but have still not succeded. I tried

This change has the effect of adding some complexity to the callback routines. The original callback passed an opaque argument which was a private item for the use of the controlling mechanism and its callback function. This change removes this and specifies only an fd. While it''s possible for the controlling mechanism to use the fd as an index to find internal data structures, this is

I’m not sure if it’s truly deterministic. It always gives the same results (so far) on my machine but I’m not sure that’s enough. My guess is it’s probably going to be deterministic on one machine but might well not be deterministic across environments. Like it might give varying results if cross compiled on different hosts, macOS vs intel Linux vs arm vs s390. (Obviously AVR is always a cross

Though there are conversion scripts, I'd like to give the convert plugin a chance. I have Dovecot 1.0.1 on Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 (Linux 2.4.27), and we had UW IMAP 2002e. Dovecot seems to work OK (e.g. I can add copy messages to it), but things break when I activate the convert plugin. The Wiki suggests convert_mail = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u # <--- locally changed to

Hi, I need to get emails from one of my users imap account on a server which is not managed by us to his local imap mailbox. I'm almost sure that I've read some times that dovecot would be able to do that, kind of imap relay, but I can't find it again. I'm not sure to be very clear. Thanks, -- David
