<p>Hi Marc,</p>
<p>thanks for replying, I would like to archive e-mail older than 5
years on a second storage, it seems like the <i>namespace</i>
with a new <i>mail_location</i> that you suggested could be good
for me, but then I will need the auto-archiving script that move
mails older than 5 years to the <i>archive</i> namespace.</p>
<p>A question: how can I configure client like Thunderbird to access
that archive namespace so that users can still access their old
mails?<br>
</p>
<p>Please could you give me some suggestion on how to do that?</p>
<p>Thanks for your time!</p>
<p>Regards<br>
</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I am not really sure what you are trying to realize with this ldap modification. But afaik you have just one mail_location= configuration per user and that is it. If you want to archive email on 2nd storage you can either use this ALT= storage location or create a namespace, and configure this namespace with a new mail_location. The latter I have done indeed as archive, and after every first quarter I am running an auto-archiving script that moves emails from the usual inbox and send folders to the archive namespace.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I have an MTA configured with Postfix that deliver email to an IMAP/LMTP
Dovecot server version 2.3.4.1 configured to bind LDAP/AD for users.
I would like to configure Dovecot to create another mailbox to archive
mails of users to a separated NFS mount.
Here is my dovecot-ldap.conf:
[...]
ldap_version=3
auth_bind = yes
dn = XXX
dnpass = XXX
scope = subtree
user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/mnt/mail-storage-
dev/%$,=uid=501,=gid=501
pass_attrs = sAMAccountName=user
user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n))
pass_filter= (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n))
[...]
I think I will add another conf file, let's say dovecot-ldap-
archive.conf using "url" as LDAP/AD filed to distinguish from normal
users:
[...]
ldap_version=3
auth_bind = yes
dn = XXX
dnpass = XXX
scope = subtree
user_attrs = url=home=/mnt/mail-storage-archive/%$,=uid=501,=gid=501
pass_attrs = url=user
user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(url=%n))
pass_filter= (&(objectclass=person)(url=%n))
[...]
I then added to "test" user a "url" filed into Active Directory named
test-archive, but it's not working, when I bind Dovecot with:
doveadm user test-archive
I receive:
field value
userdb lookup: user test-archive doesn't exist
With test user it works:
doveadm user test
field value
uid 501
gid 501
home /mnt/mail-storage-dev/test
mail maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/test
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
