Hi there,

I recently learned that dsync (mail replication) functionality will be removed in the upcoming releases of dovecot. What is the reason and will there be a replacement? How can I synchronize my e-mails  in the future?

Thanks a lot.

Regards Oliver

You have learned slightly wrong. Replicator is going to be removed, not doveadm sync (dsync).

You can still synchronize your emails by running doveadm sync periodically.

That's good to know (also thanks to the person that wrote me directly to say so too), I will look into this. I had completely disabled replication in order to get used to the future.

Just a doubt, when scheduling doveadm sync at short intervals. Will doveadm sync work ok if more than one job is overlapping (i.e. new cron job starts but old one is still running) or should I define some locking mechanism to ensure that there is no more than one sync job running?

Thanks
