similar to: Quota and Trash

While running dovecot on debian etch using version 1.0.rc15-2etch3, i wonder the following: If i read the config files correctly, dovecot seems to have no equivalent of courier's IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 setting. Therefore, i wrote a script that dives into the user's directories and their maildirs. It looks like this: ============================================= #!/bin/bash for pad1

hello, courier imap has two features: ##NAME: IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH:0 # # Set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to move expunged messages to Trash. This # effectively allows an undo of message deletion by fishing the deleted # mail from trash. Trash can be manually expunged as usually, and mail # will get automatically expunged from Trash according to IMAP_EMPTYTRASH. # # NOTE: shared folders

Hi all, I found an article (with python script) on how to clean up Maildir folder for old email messages from http://www.ducea.com/2006/11/25/cleanup-maildir-folders-archive-delete-old-mails/ . As I understand, this will be run by each user after login. How can I make this runs at least once a month and delete all users message with age more than one month for example using crontab? I am using

Greetings, I'm migrating an existing Courier IMAP installation to Dovecot (1.0rc19 right now) on a new server; there's one feature I'm not sure if Dovecot supports - but it might and I'm missing it, so I'll ask. In Courier there's an option to expire a folder after a given time period; ostensibly it's to keep a Trash folder clean, but we use it to keep the Junk

Hi all. I'm making a case to use Dovecot over Courier and would like some feedback. I've searched the web extensively and have been unable to find any hard information regarding Dovecot's IMAP performance. I've got some pressure to use Courier but my gut tells me that Dovecot should be much faster. In particular, I will have typical users with mailboxes exceeding 10,000

I am not familiar with all the features that Dovecot has, but I am familiar with Courier IMAP using Maildir. Does Dovedot have a software based Maildir supporting quota program like Courier IMAP ? Can maildrop be used with Dovecot for quotas ? Courier IMAP has maildrop integrated. - If maildrop support is turned on in Courier IMAP, then a user will get a quota warning mail message

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, recently I started using maildrop as a MDA doing lightweight filtering in a Postfix/Dovecot mail server combo. Only thing missing was the fact that maildrop couldn't perform user lookups against a user database that was already being served by Dovecot (for smtp auth in Postfix and for imap access obviously) in order to easily determinate proper mailbox location and home directory of

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:

With the release of dovecot 2.0, the community of the Dovecot mailling list, and us at Shelton Computers, would sincerely like to thank the developers of Dovecot. For, if it were not for you, we would be stuck with Courier and would not have the impressive features of Sieve, as opposed to the unmanageable scripts, by end users, of maildrop. *Our gratitude goes to, but not limited to:* *Timo

We're considering a move from Courier to Dovecot.? So far, looks like it's not too bad, but the most challenging obstacle is what to do about our local delivery.? Factors: 1. we use a lot of maildrop "features" that are impossible in sieve without piping to an external program (would rather not re-write our working maildrop scripts in another language) 2. would love to try

Hi. Uhm... yeah as the topic implies I want to have . (dots) in my folder names... Unfortunately dovecot's maildirmake hasn't a -f switch as the one from courier/maildrop, but that one in turn is buggy[0] and doesn't encode any characters at all. In principle, maildir++ should allow[1] having (encoded) dots in folder names,... but I don't quite understand how the encoding

Ehlo all, I've been working on a migration of about 240K users from one server with qmail, courier imap, maildrop and ldap to postfix, dovecot, lda +sieve. Before the migration the server and the storage were always on high load. Before migration: Storage IOPs = 4600 Read average = ?2800 ?Write average = 1800 Storage CPU (Raid5) Crl0 = 50% Crl1 = 50% Server Load = 120 %user = 35

Helo all, I'm working on a migration from qmail+courier+maildrop to postfix +dovecot1.1+lda and today the logs has too many strange messages like this: Jun 12 10:51:22 mailserver03 dovecot: IMAP(xxxxl at xxxx.com.br): Broken file /data/services/dominios/xx.com.br/m/ma/mapel//Maildir/.Sent/dovecot-uidlist line 29: UID larger than next_uid (535 >= 535) Jun 12 10:51:26 mailserver03 dovecot:

Hello, I just migrated from Postfix/Courier/Maildrop to Postfix/Dovecot/Deliver/Sieve and don't unterstand the right syntax for sieve :( I searched and found many small examples and many links to the RFC, but nothing was usefull for me (or i didn't unterstand it) I installed the latest Dovecot-Sieve (hg). Examples from my maildrop config: # Filter FROM if($E =~ /name at domain1\.tld/)

For various reasons I want to use deliver with Postfix and Courier-IMAP, and it seems to work fine except for one thing: deliver creates some dovecot.* index files that Courier never uses (and I assume deliver doesn't need them) Is there a way to prevent that? Thanks, Martin

Hi! I?m about to migrate a system whith 5000 accounts whith (~ 500GB) from "postfix/courier-imap/maildrop/mysql" to a new hardware whith "postfix/dovecot/dovecot/mysql". I?ll make a separate partition (raid 1) for the mail spool (/var/spool/vmail) and want to now what type of filesystem to use on it to increase performance. I read that XFS is a good choice, but is not

hi all, i'm moving from a maildrop+courier setup to lda(sieve)+dovecot setup. with maildrop i had a global filter for all the users, so i could filter and archive into the spam folder spam tagged emails for users without custom filters, including them if they exist: LOGNAME=tolower($LOGNAME) `test -e $LOGNAME` if ( $RETURNCODE != 0 ) { `maildirmake $LOGNAME` `maildirmake

Hi all Sorry for repost, but i don't believe that there is noone who know where the problem can be. At least developers should know :-) I have sent this post once, but without answer. I have setup dovecot lda instead of maildrop on my courier server. Delivery is working, sieve plugin too, but i can't figure out why lda can't send emails via sendmail (vacation). I always get
