How can I determine why there are duplicated emails?
Same problem here!
What kind of messages should I specifically look for? Look for any errors and warnings in the Dovecot log. You could also enable mail_debug (ref.
Can I set this up for a few selected accounts instead of all accounts like it was currently? To make sure I do not make things worse for others then needs to be :-) The service had been disabled for the time being to prevent the other users from getting duplicated emails. I do not know what kind of userdb you are running, but there is a newish patch that enables per user replication via the mail_replica setting. It is not yet included in the newest (2.2.13) release of Dovecot, but is available via the enterprise version. There are no FreeBSD builds for that, though. ref: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/c1c67bdc8752
my userdb consists of local users (Which are fed through LDAP at the backend). perhaps I can setup a mailAttributes setting or something so that the replica can be set, although I prefer that I have control over that in the config itself :-)
With the latest Debian jessie version 1:2.2.13-5 you can actually have a per user mail_replica setting taken from a (LDAP) directory. This keeps the duplicate mail issue away from other users but a few willing to test ...
For what it’s worth:
replication_dsync_parameters = -f -d -N -l 30 -U
I read in Peer Heinlein's Dovecot book http://www.opensourcepress.de/de/produkte/Dovecot/13560/978-3-95539-074-7 that replicating a public namespace gives you trouble :-(. So keep the "-N" option away for now.
However I would like examples for the "-n" and "-x" options, which are neither given in the wiki nor in the nonexistant man page.
I think the replication feature is very, very cool, but right now it gives me a hard time to implement flawlessly ;-)
Thanks for any help or light shed on this issue ...
Found it ;-)

All working beautifully now!
