<p>Hi Sami,</p>
<p>I just configured on my test environment (with two Dovecot in
replica in geographical different branches) this namespace and it
seems to works:<br>
</p>
<p><font size="-1"><i>namespace archive {</i><i><br>
</i><i> disabled = no</i><i><br>
</i><i> hidden = no</i><i><br>
</i><i> inbox = no</i><i><br>
</i><i> list = yes</i><i><br>
</i><i> location =
maildir:/mnt/mail-storage-archivio/%u-archivio</i><i><br>
</i><i> subscriptions = yes</i><i><br>
</i><i> prefix = Archives.</i><i><br>
</i><i> separator =</i><i><br>
</i><i>}</i></font></p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
</p>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>You can choose what ever storage driver you want. Sdbox was
there just as an example that you can have separate storage
driver from your mail_location storage driver.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Also this way ARCHIVE shows as normal folder structure under
Thunderbird as long as your users subscribe to the folders. </div>
<div>Which you can also force with subscribe = auto </div>

<p class="">Hi Sami,</p>
<p class="">thanks for your answer!</p>
<p class="">Why should I use sdbox?</p>
<p class="">If I configure the archive location on a NFS
mountpoint and I move mails older than 5 years to the
"archive", how can I tell client like Thunderbird where
to find archived e-mails?</p>
<p class="">Thanks!<br class="">

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