[Dovecot] problem with convert-tool: "Invalid mailbox name"
by Ezequiel Alfíe 11 Jul '09

11 Jul '09

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with convert-tool while trying to convert mbox folders to maildir. I'm running dovecot-1.1.16 on Centos 5.3 If the user has subfolders, convert-tool fails saying: "Mailbox conversion: Couldn't create mailbox sub/folder3: Invalid mailbox name" However, if I ran the convert-tool with the same arguments and same folders with dovecot 1.1.11 on Ubuntu 9.04 it works fine. Any pointers for troubleshooting this? Thanks in advance, Ezequiel

[Dovecot] Can expire-tool skip folders with "expire time in future" errors?
by Ralph Seichter 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi folks, when I run expire-tool, I often see messages like the following: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool Info: user/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Fri May 22 17:42:23 2009 the server's dovecot.conf contains the following line: expire = Trash 2 Junk 7 */News 30 */Reports 7 >From what I observe, an error of "expire time in future" in one of the Trash folders stops expire-tool alltogether, meaning that remaining folders like News or Reports don't get processed at all? Is this interpretation correct? If so, can I convince expire-tool to skip errors and continue processing other folders? -R

[Dovecot] non-lowercase usernames

Should I just make Dovecot lowercase usernames by default in v2.0? auth_username_format = %Lu Does anyone actually want to use non-lowercase usernames?

[Dovecot] Sieve on full mailbox
by ian＠comtek.co.uk 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi, We are using dovecot with "mail_plugins = cmusieve". I have Avelsieve in SquirrelMail for users to interact with it. Is there any way I can allow users to run their sieve script on an entire mailbox? While the normal case of having messages filtered as they are delivered to the Maildir makes sense it would be useful for a few users to be able to apply their rules to every message on a one-off basis. If there is a binary which will do this job? I could adapt the SquirrelMail interface to invoke it with appropriate arguments. Thanks, Ian
