Latest Virtual Plugin changes seem to have broken flag changes: 2.2.devel (bf2fa36)

Hi, I’m using several views like this: # cat Dovecot/dovecot-virtual :public/Archive/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot/* :public/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot all Before the recent changes read mail stayed in sync with the virtual folder. Now regardless whether mail is read in the original Folder or the virtual Folder, the flags are not synchronized anymore. Read mail is flagged unread in the corresponding folder. Regards Thomas

Puzzled about LIST "" * behaviour
by Benoit Panizzon 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hi there I'm preparing to copy emails from one dovecot to another dovecot server via imapsync. Now imapsync does not get the folder list. So I sniffed the connection and I am trying to reproduce via telnet. I do via different concurrent connections. . login user password . list "" * Now this is what completely puzzles me. sometimes I get the list of all folders, sometimes I only get the INBOX imapsync seems to only ever get the INBOX and no other folders. But I type in the very same commands! I have not yet figured out what sometimes causes me to get the full list and sometimes only a partial one. Is it some timing issue? Does it matter if the user is already logged in from another ip? Any hints welcome. -Benoît Panizzon- -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

(Solved) Re: Upgrade path from MySQL to MariaDB broken? (Akonadi)
by Volker Wysk 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hello! I've found it out, how you can solve/work around the problem: Nextcloud needs MariaDB. It won't work (so it seems) with MySQL. So mariadb- server needs to be installed. This replaces MySQL (mysql-server-core-5.7 and mysql-client-core-5.7) with MariaDB. The problem is that after that, Akonadi won't start any longer. "aconadictl start" outputs a lot of messages. The problem can be repaired by doing this, after the installation of MariaDB: akonadictl stop rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi akonadictl start Bye, Volker

Not all package maintainers are as responsive as you are. I've lost count of the number of problems reported here, where people could not move from version 1.x, because their repo did not have anything newer, or for reason out of their control, they can't update because it would/could break something else. > There are downsides to compiling yourself. To be sure. (Incidentally, auto-updates are sometimes *not* what people want -- stability of a working system is paramount over anything that might jeopardize that.) Compiling from source is not everybody's cup of tea, but it does allow complete control over the build. Repo-packages usually are built with kitchen-sink options, which may not suit everyone.
