Backend doesn't support GUIDs
by Jose Celestino 09 Mar '23

Hi, Have some old dboxes where doveadm sync fails with "Backend doesn't support GUIDs, sync with header hashes instead". The error is right after reading from the folder dovecot.index.log.2. The dovecot version is 2.3.10. Any fix/workaround for the error?

Missing mailboxes after migration from Maildir -> mdbox
by A 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

I migrated from existing dovecot Maildir to dbox. After adding separator to the namespace it migrated all Inbox mails, but the other mailboxes like user-created ones and "Junk", "Sent" and so on has not been migrated. Any advice would be helpful, here is my dovconf: https://pastebin.com/rDSeBcLe My migration I made using: 1. Edit dovecot.conf with new mdbox and adding separator 2. dsync mirror per user with old maildir:~/mail 3. missing mailboxes: tried with doveadm sync also with -f mode and specified mailboxes. No luck. dsync -v -u admin@(removed) mirror maildir:~/mail mail_home = /var/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n #mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox My directorys: root@mail:/var/vmail/mailboxes/example.de/admin# ls -l insgesamt 56 drwxrwx--- 2 vmail vmail 4096 8.

Hello, Do you know if is possible to store indexes locally instead of NFS in dovecot 2.2.7 ? Thanks.

Dovecot "Mailbox sharing between users".
by Jobst Schmalenbach 07 Mar '23

07 Mar '23

Hi I have appended the important bits of my server configuration to the end of this email I am trying to get "Mailbox sharing between users" to work. For starters it is very hard to follow the doc only https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/shared_mailbo… without an actual example. I tried to use this (sorry in German) https://dokuwiki.tachtler.net/doku.php?id=tachtler:dovecot_shares and this got me a little further down the track. I followed the instructions required for the dovecot config files. Restarted dovecot, not errors displayed in the logs. I have got access to two user accounts, say USER1 and USER2. I executed this lines doveadm acl set -u USER1 INBOX user=USER2 admin create delete expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen doveadm acl set -u USER2 INBOX user=USER1 admin create delete expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen and created (just to be sure) two folders for each user /home/USER1/Mail/shared/USER1 /home/USER1/Mail/shared/USER2 /home/USER2/Mail/shared/USER1 /home/USER2/Mail/shared/USER2 The tried to create a mailboxes like so /home/USER1/Mail/shared/USER1/testa /home/USER1/Mail/shared/USER2/testb /home/USER2/Mail/shared/USER1/testa /home/USER2/Mail/shared/USER2/testb They are not created and no error is displayed - even looking at the dovecot logs. What I see in the folders for BOTH users though (for every folder) dovecot.list.index.log On the command line I can see the .imap files and do a 'ls -alR' in the folders, but no created mbox. I can definitely see the folders, but I cannot create a mbox file. What am I doing wrong? Help please. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are the important configuration items # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7.x86_64 x86_64 AlmaLinux release 8.7 (Stone Smilodon) xfs namespace shared { list = children location = maildir:~/Mail/:INDEX=~/Mail/shared/%%u:CONTROL=~/Mail/shared/ prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } mail_location = mbox:/home/%u/Mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_plugins = acl passdb { driver = pam } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = dovecot mode = 0777 user = dovecot } } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " acl imap_acl" } --

Flags/tags lost when moving e-mails to another folder
by Alexis Ben Miloud--Josselin 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Hi, I have an issue with e-mail tags/flags. The IMAP user is using Thunderbird or Roundcube with Thunderbird tags. When the user (with an IMAP client) moves an e-mail from a folder to another, tags set on the e-mail are lost. When we check the filesystem, we can see the "a" tag: -rw-rw---- 2 test mailusers 2498 Dec 29 15:31 'cur/1676643827.M563793P15241.<HOSTNAME>,S=2498,W=2551:2,a' When we move the e-mail to another folder, the tag disappear: -rw-rw---- 2 test mailusers 2498 Dec 29 15:31 '.test/cur/1676644340.M214404P22014.<HOSTNAME>,S=2498,W=2551:2,' In both folders, the dovecot-keywords file is: 0 $LABEL1 The problem appeared after a major system upgrade (Debian 9 to 10). Dovecot version went from 2.2.27 to 2.3.4.1. Some system informations: # dovecot --version 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) # cat /etc/debian_version 10.13 # uname -a Linux <HOSTNAME> 4.19.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.269-1 (2022-12-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux # findmnt /var TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS /var /dev/vda3 ext4 rw,nosuid,relatime # findmnt /home TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS /home /dev/vdb ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime The output of `dovecot -n output` is here (link expires in one year): https://paste.evolix.org/?96d46acaea638568#56g7AQLuzJxxy4xintpexJCPgiAAG23c… Here are the operations I see on an e-mail file using strace: 15507 link("/home/test/Maildir/cur/1672326270.M619318P11927.<HOSTNAME>,S=2498,W=2551:2,Sa", "/home/test/Maildir/.test/tmp/1672326456.M737812P15507.<HOSTNAME>") = 0 15507 rename("/home/test/Maildir/.test/tmp/1672326456.M737812P15507.<HOSTNAME>", "/home/test/Maildir/.test/cur/1672326456.M737813P15507.<HOSTNAME>,S=2498,W=2551:2,S") = 0 15507 unlink("/home/test/Maildir/cur/1672326270.M619318P11927.<HOSTNAME>,S=2498,W=2551:2,Sa") = 0 Setting mbox_lazy_writes to yes and/or unsetting mail_cache_fields doesn't change anything. Any idea of what I am missing? Could this be a bug in Dovecot?
