Mail migration problem

Mon Jun 24 16:34:53 EEST 2019

Yeah, I think dovecot was a custom compiled build 

Version is 2.2.18

Config:

# 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.4.8
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-754.14.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.10 (Final) xfs

log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
mail_home = mdbox:/var/homedirs/%2Mu/%2.2Mu/%u
mail_location = mdbox:/var/mailboxes/%2Mu/%2.2Mu/%u
mail_plugins = acl

  separator = /
  subscriptions = yes

}
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox INBOX {
    auto = subscribe
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk

  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {

  }

}
passdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/mastership-sql.conf
  driver = sql
  master = yes
  pass = yes
}
passdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
  driver = sql
}
plugin {
  acl = vfile
  acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes

  sieve_execute_socket_dir = sieve-execute
  sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.execute +vnd.dovecot.filter +vnd.dovecot.pipe
  sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filter
  sieve_filter_socket_dir = sieve-filter
  sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-pipe
  sieve_pipe_socket_dir = sieve-pipe
  sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms
}
postmaster_address = postmaster at test2.domain.com
sendmail_path = /sbin/sendmail
service dict {
  unix_listener dict {
    user = dovecot
  }
}
service imap-postlogin {
  executable = script-login /etc/dovecot/imappostlogin
  user = $default_internal_user
}
service imap {
  executable = imap imap-postlogin
}
ssl = no
userdb {
  args = uid=dovecot gid=dovecot home=/var/mailboxes/%%2Mu/%%2.2Mu/%%u
  driver = static
}
protocol lmtp {
  mail_plugins = acl sieve
}
protocol lda {
  mail_plugins = acl sieve
}
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = acl imap_acl
}

and --build-options:

Build options: ioloop=epoll notify=inotify ipv6 openssl io_block_size=8192
Mail storages: shared mdbox raw fail
SQL drivers: mysql
Passdb: checkpassword pam passwd passwd-file shadow sql
Userdb: checkpassword nss passwd prefetch passwd-file sql

At that point my question is if I can run another dovecot build on the same box? I knew I can run the same instance but as is this a custom build I want to have something generic just to use for migration purposes.

Thanks,
Adam

    Well, judging by the error message it appears like dovecot hasn't been 
    compiled with support for maildir, which is strange because I don't see 
    any way to disable in the compile-time options.

    Are you using the precompiled package from the distro or compiling 
    dovecot by yourself? Could you share the output of "dovecot 
    --build-options" and "dovecot --version"?

    Thanks!
