Structure of dovecot.index.pvt.log
by Miloslav Hůla 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hi, we are migrating from Cyrus to Dovecot and I would like to migrate seen flags for shared folder too. We have Dovecot 2.2.13 prepared as: location = maildir:/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/Shared/%%n Now I'm looking for 'dovecot.index.pvt.log' syntax to be able migrate Seen flags. All I know is, that index contains messages UID and Seen flag. May I ask you for a link to doc (if it exists) or into a source code? Should I care about 'dovecot.index.pvt.log' timestamps? Thank you, Milo

Question RE listescape and separators
by Jakob Curdes 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Hello, we just start moving a large number of mailboxes to a new dovecot server with dovecot 2.0.9 (from CentOS) and sdbox as mailbox type. We use imapsync so there is no issue with mailbox type conversion. However, in test runs I noted that some mail folders,e.g. with dots in them, could not be transferred; dovecot says Couldn't create folder [7.8) Personnel] from [7.8) Personnel]: 106 NO Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.' We have the separator "/" defined for our only namespace so the dot should not be an issue!? I tried to use listescape but either the plugin is not loading (how can I verify this?) or it does not escape the dot in the mailbox name. The listescape settings are the defaults: namespace { separator = / (...) } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins listescape plugin { listescape_char = "\\" } What am I doing wrong? How can I make dots in mailboxes possible? Best regards, Jakob Curdes

Hello Sascha, sieve scripts are quite easy, see Steffen's example. I think what you want your script to do is: With any detail part, lowercase it, file message into detail folder, create as necessary. Something like auto-variables in Makfiles, where the rule gets its value from the target, e.g. -- peter

Deafness
by Steffan Cline 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

I’ve started in the last day or so having issues where users get a timeout when connecting to dovecot. The iPhone interprets this as an auth issue but re-entering the password makes no change. Outlook will either just not connect to it at all or it gives an error to re-enter the password also with no change. This happens within an hour of a "service dovecot restart". I’m using CentOS 6 with dovecot 2.0.9 from the centos repos. There’s nothing visible in the logs. Suggestions of what to check for? Thanks, Steffan

dbox: message internal date
by Francesco 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for the help :) I'm trying to figure out where does dovecot store the message internal date when using single dbox storage format. In Maildir format, the internal date is determined by the actual date of the file on the filesystem, but in dbox it doesn't seem to be the case. I'm looking forward for a way to modify a message internal date when on a dovecot instance running dbox storage engine, maybe anyone knows if it's possible and how to accomplish this? Again, thank you for the help Sincerely Francesco

sharing INBOX with ACL -> share all folders

Hi at all, I have a problem with ACL; I want to share INBOX and Sent folder to an other user, but when I configure ACL on INBOX, all folders are shared (Sent, Junk, Draft, Trash, etc) # doveadm acl get -u janedoe INBOX ID Global Rights user=johndoe expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Sent ID Global Rights user=johndoe expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Trash ID Global Rights # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Drafts ID Global Rights # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Junk ID Global Rights # doveadm mailbox list -u johndoe Trash Junk Drafts Sent Archives Archives.2015 Other Users Other Users.janedoe Other Users.janedoe.Junk Other Users.janedoe.Drafts Other Users.janedoe.Sent Other Users.janedoe.Trash Other Users.janedoe.INBOX INBOX If I remove the INBOX ACL, only 'Sent' folder is shared, as expected: # doveadm acl delete -u janedoe INBOX johndoe # doveadm mailbox list -u provahe Trash Trash.saved-messages Junk Drafts Sent INBOX_spam Archives Archives.2015 Archives.2015.INBOX_spam Other Users Other Users.janedoe Other Users.janedoe.Sent INBOX My Dovecot instance use a single user, and all my mailboxes use standard maildir files: drwx------ 9 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 10:59 . drwx------ 12 vmail mail 3864 Jul 28 09:39 .. drwx------ 2 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:51 cur -rw------- 1 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 10:59 dovecot-acl -rw------- 1 vmail mail 16 Jul 28 10:59 dovecot-acl-list -rw------- 1 vmail mail 1448 Jul 28 09:51 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 vmail mail 1016 Jul 28 09:52 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 vmail mail 113 Jul 28 09:51 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 vmail mail 8 Jul 28 09:39 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 dovecot-uidvalidity.55b731ac drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 .Drafts lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail mail 5 Jul 28 09:39 .INBOX_spam -> .Junk drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 .Junk -rw------- 1 vmail mail 16 Jul 28 09:39 maildirsize drwx------ 2 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:51 new drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:50 .Sent -rw------- 1 vmail mail 37 Jul 28 09:39 subscriptions drwx------ 2 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:51 tmp drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 .Trash any clue to solve my problem ??

Importing mbox archives into a inbox?
by Paul Hoffman 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Greetings from a dovecot newbie. I have a bunch of mailing list archives (in mbox) format that I want to dump into the inbox for a particular account on the system. I want them to retain all of their information, particularly the date. I'm not seeing how to do this, but I could be missing it. Is this LDA or LMTP with some command-line options I'm not seeing? --Paul Hoffman
