Hello,

some spam training tools learn the same message over and over again. Since I want to use a daily cronjob to train messages and I do not want to have the same messages trained multiple times, I need to way to get new messages in a folder.

Is there a (consolish) way to get a list of messages that were recently moved to a folder? dovecot does not modify mtime, according to RFC 3501.

Does doveadm search -u spam@xgm.de mailbox INBOX SAVEDSINCE 2013-11-21 list the wanted messages? For more details see doveadm-search(1) and doveadm-search-query(7).

Not really:

% doveadm search -u mailinglists@xgm.de mailbox INBOX SAVEDSINCE 2013-11-21

doveadm(mailinglists@xgm.de): Error: user mailinglists@xgm.de: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/flindner/Mail/mailinglists@xgm.de doveadm(mailinglists@xgm.de): Fatal: User init failed

Which seems to be another problem. IMAP and POP3 work fine, but on occasions like that dovecot fails to detect that it is a maildir.

Problem may be that in my database home and mail location is identical (and there is no way to change that). Is there a way to tell dovecot that every mailbox is a maildir without modifying the database?

Thanks, Florian

There are very good reasons why this is broken...

And I highly doubt that it *can't* be changed... you just don't want to go through the pain, right?

Personally, I think you should rethink this decision, but if you still 'can't, then learn to live with the pain.

Actually I don't really understand why that is so strictly enforced as a number of dovecot tools (deliver, doveadm) refuse to work while imap is working perfectly without any additional settings or workarounds.

My maildir show a number of folders like .*, the usual cur, new, tmp and the dovecot* files. I don't see any possible name clash there, even without stat'ing the entries to test if it's a directory.

I just need to disable the mail storage autodetection and set it always maildir. Prefixing the database entry for the mail field with maildir: changes nothing.

I've read the warnings about having mail == home but honestly I don't understand. Sorry if I miss the point here, but I'm eager to learn.

Kind Regards, Florian

You don't put postfix's spool directory in home do you?

that was unfait

i think OP confuse ~ dovecot with HOME env variable, not neaseserly in /home/vmail

just remember if useradd vmail make it not share groups with login users should keep it safe to use /home path

If something works fine for imap and pop3, but not for doveadm (for the same user), then the difference is that imap/pop3 sees different settings (e.g. in protocol imap {}).

Actually there isn't a protocol imap {} section. Or am I missing something?

Thanks, Florian
