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??
rwx------ 5 vmail vmail 108 3月 17 19:55 .Drafts
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 108 3月 17 19:55 .Junk
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 108 3月 17 19:55 .Sent
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 108 3月 17 19:55 .Sent Messages
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 135 3月 17 19:55 .Trash
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 6 3月 17 19:55 cur
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 51 3月 17 19:55 dovecot-uidlist
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 8 3月 17 19:55 dovecot-uidvalidity
-r--r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 0 3月 17 19:55 dovecot-uidvalidity.5c8e27ae
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 312 3月 17 19:55 dovecot.index.log
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 120 3月 17 19:55 dovecot.mailbox.log
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 6 3月 17 19:55 new
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 37 3月 17 19:55 subscriptions
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 6 3月 17 19:55 tmp
Mmm.. I actually changed the directory to .Sent Messages, but I'm now in
the .Sent directory...
[root at mail .Sent]# pwd
/var/spool/virtual/landscapes-photography.com/koshiro.sakuma/Maildir/.Sent
