Hi list,
I think, I found a bug in the replication setup, that drops (custom) flags like Thunderbird labels. I have set up a simple 2 node setup to reproduce and explain it:
Host adove.mpi-klsb.mpg.de and bdove.mpi-klsb.mpg.de (doveconf -n attached) have dovecot-imapd (from repo.dovecot.org) installed on an ext4 filesystem. They only have one account "test" via /etc/dovecot/userdb ("test:testpassword:::Test User::/bin/bash:"). It's mailbox contains one message, that is flagged with "$label1":
doveadm -f flow fetch -u test 'guid flags' ALL guid=d1516a2b5c08fc5b541d00005a350039 flags=\Recent $label1
Now I simulate a node reinstall on adove by uninstalling dovecot, removing all remnants, reinstalling and configuring it again:
apt purge dovecot-core dovecot-imapd rm -rf /var/vmail /var/lib/dovecot /etc/dovecot apt install dovecot-imapd # disable system auth : > /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext # create /var/vmail install -d -o nobody -g nogroup -m 700 /var/vmail # create userdb echo 'test:testpassword:::Test User::/bin/bash:' > /etc/dovecot/userdb # create /etc/dovecot/local.conf # not described here, the resulting doveconf -n is attached! service dovecot restart
When I check the flags of the mail of user test now, the "$label1" is disapeared on both machines, even after "doveadm replicator replicate -f test":
doveadm -f flow fetch -u test 'guid flags' ALL guid=d1516a2b5c08fc5b541d00005a350039 flags=\Recent
Any hints what I am doing wrong here or is this really a bug?
Best,
