Hi Ranbir,

i think youre just using the wrong quota backend.

https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota

You should switch from "quota = maildir...." to another one, like dict.

Converting your Public mailbox you could try this ( no guarantee .. just guessing. make backup ! ):

doveadm -o mail_location="maildir:/var/spool/mail/thesandhufamily.ca/public" sync sdbox:/target/folder

Hi Everyone,

I migrated my maildir mailboxes to sdbox without any show stopping errors,

but I did see this during the migration and now I'm also seeing it in the log:

Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota

I'm not quite sure why this is happening. Any ideas?

I am using a "public" namespace for several mailboxes to share emails:

# public namespace configuration

namespace {

type = public

# the default separator for Maildir is ".", so that is what should be

# used automatically.

separator = .

prefix = Public.

location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/thesandhufamily.ca/public

subscriptions = no

}

Under the "public" dir in the old maildir setup, I have folders configured for

various mail accounts. For example:

.Ads

.Junk

.Bills

etc.

These "users" are setup in a passwd file so that I can use a different mail

storage location for them than the one they get from ldap (same as above).

Using dsync to migrate my other mailboxes was easy, but I don't know how

to migrate these public mailboxes. I looked through the wiki and didn't see

anything about how to do it. Could someone explain how I can migrate the

public mailboxes?
