Failing to archive many messages
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 01 May '24

Hi, When I archive one or two messages, the messages are correctly moved to the Archive. However, when I archive more messages - like 50 or more, dovecot seems to fail. The error I get is this one: Warning: Failed to do incremental sync for mailbox Archive, retry with a full sync (Modseq 17277 no longer in transaction log (highest=17323, last_common_uid=12216, nextuid=15767)) No messages end up being moved to the Archive folder. I tried to do this both from a mail client and from roundcube. What could be the problem here?

Dovecot, migrating mailboxes from old to new server and from old to new format?
by David Mehler 01 May '24

Hello, I've got a task to migrate a Dovecot mailstore, mailboxes, public folders, etc from an older server (it runs Dovecot 2.2.x) to a new server (running Dovecot 2.3.x). At the same time I'm needing to change mailbox storage formats, going from Mbox (on old server) to Maildir (on new server). I'm not sure if any of the mailboxes are compressed with zlib or encrypted, there's a lot of them, is there a way to find out compression or encryption and decompress/decrypt them prior to migration? Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave. -- Sent from Mozilla Thunderbird 91.13.1
