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?
