Compression: all or nothing?
by Alex King 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

Using 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) (debian package), with mdbox storage. I considering adding the zlib plugin. I understand that reading mail can cope with either compressed or uncompressed mailboxes. I'm wondering if I can leave the main storage uncompressed, while having the alternate storage compressed. There does not seem to be a way to configure this, from https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/zlib-plugin/ it seems compression (on saving emails) is an all-or-nothing option? Can I leave zlib_save unset in my main configuration, and have doveadm use some alternate configuration with zlib_save set? It doesn't look hopeful because I don't see the ability to use a different config at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove. Perhaps I would need multiple copies of the daemon running? Or is it better just to compress everything? I plan to store older mails (perhaps 3months+) in the alternative storage, and was thinking it would be nice to have those compressed, while I don't need to compress the main store. Any feedback welcome. Thanks, Alex

Re: Changed separator, sub folders not showing new e-mail

I found the answer here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/441313/no-mailbox-doesnt-exist-se… Apparently on Mac one needs to update the separator on a file, since it doesn’t seem that the Mail.app does it for itself. On the iPhone it happened automatically. Best, Francis

Changed separator, sub folders not showing new e-mail
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

Hi, I recently changed the mailbox separator from '.' to '/' so that I could have shared mailboxes working. However, while the mailboxes show fine on Roundcube and on other web-based e-mail clients, on the Mail.app on my Mac I don't get newer messages on those sub folders. For example, I have a subfolder Test. Mails filtered to be dropped there, show fine. But I have one called Lists, with a sub folder called "Dovecot". I can't read mails that are under "Lists/Dovecot". Can anyone help? Best, Francis -- Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay Oslo, Norway

Separators and shared namespaces

Hi Martin, I had a similar problem: https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/dovecot@dovecot.org/thread/DNHM3… It seemed to me that using ‘.’ truncated the domain name when that was used in the paths, such as when using %d. Best, Francis

Re: Dovecot lda-dupes

Hi, I have read elsewhere that the Maildir shouldn’t be at the home. But that’s how it worked for me since the start. I wonder if I could either change the location of these .dovecot.lda-dupes, or if I could change home without having to move the mailboxes of all the users. Today I have this: On my dovecot-sql.conf.ext: iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM mailbox user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/vmail/',maildir) AS home, \ CONCAT('maildir:/var/mail/vmail/',maildir,':INDEX=/var/vmail-index/index/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/vmail-index/control/%d/%n') AS mail, \ 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=',quota) AS quota_rule \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = 1 password_query = SELECT username AS user,password FROM mailbox \ WHERE username = '%u' AND active=‘1' On my 10-mail.conf mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/vmail-index/index/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/vmail-index/control/%d/%n If I add `Maildir` to the mail_location and to the mail user_query, will I have to move mailboxes, or the only thing I have to do is to add “Maildir” when I use %h/%%h?

Never mind, I found it. I had to add `replication_dsync_parameters`, with the default values, but with `-x shared` to exclude the namespace. Best, Francis
