Hello everyone!
I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday.
So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the message from one mailbox to another, the move will keep all the flags! Including MAIL_INDEX_MAIL_FLAG_BACKEND 0x40. So, altmove think this message was already moved and doesn't do anything.
Thanks, fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/9ad3f11617f1
Just one last question: how can I remove that flag from the message? I have taken a look at doveadm-flags(1) but it doesn't seem to allow anything on that flag.
You can use doveadm altmove -r parameter to "move" the mail back to the primary storage. This fixes the flag. Then you can move it to alt storage.
