Greetings,
I'm converting from a custom POPstore ( > 100,000 messages) which is Maildir-like and uses the filename as the UIDL and doesn't store it inside the message. I'm wondering whether there is hope for config-file options to keep devecot from renaming files when it first sees them, or whether I'm going to need to create a new backend for dovecot based on Maildir.
The renaming not only blows my current UIDLs, it seems to upset Dovecot's indexing,
Cheers! -sam
My POPstore looks like this:
/zdata/domain/%d/folders/%n/{cur, new, tmp}/and message filenames like this:
msg.yyyy:mm:dd:hh:mm:ss.randomI was able to get Dovecot to see the store by the symlink:
