9:59 a.m.

Hello, I've setup Dovecot and Postfix mailing systems. The protocol is imap. Now, I've realized that there are no "sent items, drafts" boxed under Maildir for each users. I would like to take back up Inbox, sent items, draft boxes. For sent items box, it seems to be stored in outlook client file which is "ost". The configuration parameters and version is as follows. I can see that "namespace" has been configured. How can I setup to see these folders?

Thank you for your support!

I believe these folders (sent, draft etc.) are created by the MUA on first IMAP connexion. Can you confirm that these folders are created when you connect to your IMAP account for the first via a mail client ?

If you are accessing your e-mail via a webmail, make sure to configure your webmail to create those folders for you. For example, with roundcube the config is :

$config['drafts_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Drafts'; $config['junk_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Junk'; $config['sent_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Sent'; $config['trash_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Trash'; $config['create_default_folders'] = true;

Hi, Yassine,

Yes, you are right that these folders are created by MUA which is Outlook 2013. I can see "Inbox, sent items, drafts, deleted" box in the mail client. This is OK. However, I only can take backup "inbox" mail of dovecot side. I mean, the backup can be taken from /Maildir/cur directory. I would like to take backup from "Sent, Draft" boxes which are dovecot mail boxed. I need to take backup MS outlook of "ost" file for sent item, draft mail box separately in that case. Or it is not possible way to take these mail boxed on dovecot?

Regards,

Koshiro,

Sounds like Outlook isn't set to upload Sent messages (or Deleted, etc.)

And it sounds like an Outlook issue more than a Dovecot issue.

Maybe this will help?

You can also tell dovecot to create the folders:

namespace { inbox = yes mailbox Sent { auto=create } mailbox Trash { auto=create } mailbox Drafts { auto=create }

... }

Hi, Aki and Kostya,

Thank you for your feedback. Well, I have set "auto = subscribe" in the 15-mailboxes.conf file. Now, I changed Outlook setting of imap and I can see Draft, Trash, Sent and Sent Messages folders and I can see the mail files in there. However, I don't see mail files in the "cur or new" folder where is under .Sent Messages folder.

The drafts, trash, Junk, Sent and Sent Massages folders are in English. Can I change to other language in the 15-mailboxes.conf file? Actually, I tried to change it, but dovecot doesn't start due to "unrecognized" parameter.
Maybe my configuration of 15-mailboxes.conf is wrong. The current parameter of sent message is as follow. mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent auto = subscribe } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent auto = subscribe }

Maybe Outlook isn't going to upload all old pre-existing Sent (etc) messages to server just from your setting the right server folder.

Have you tried sending a *new* test message from Outlook ("new" - after you changed Outlook setting for Sent folder) - to see if it gets uploaded?

If it does, but the old pre-existing messages don't - I would think you'd need to find a way to make Outlook upload *all* (old, pre-existing) Sent messages to server?

Hi, K,

Thanks for your feedback again! BTW, I tried to copy mail file from sent item folder which is default folder of Outlook 2013 to "Sent Messages" folder of Dovecot. I can see the mail files in this folder, but I don't see them under .Sent Messages folder like "new", "cur" and "tmp" folders. You have any idea where the mail files are copied??

Hi, Aki and Kostya,

Thank you for your feedback. Well, I have set "auto = subscribe" in the 15-mailboxes.conf file. Now, I changed Outlook setting of imap and I can see Draft, Trash, Sent and Sent Messages folders and I can see the mail files in there. However, I don't see mail files in the "cur or new" folder where is under .Sent Messages folder.

The drafts, trash, Junk, Sent and Sent Massages folders are in English. Can I change to other language in the 15-mailboxes.conf file? Actually, I tried to change it, but dovecot doesn't start due to "unrecognized" parameter.

Maybe my configuration of 15-mailboxes.conf is wrong. The current parameter of sent message is as follow. mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent auto = subscribe } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent auto = subscribe }

Regards,
