[Dovecot] Copying just the folders to new Dovecot server?
I am setting up a new Dovecot server and I want to start from scratch, i.e. with an empty mailbox. But I want to have the same folders in my new mailbox that I have in my old.

I'm not sure why you want to convert to mbox, especially when there are multiple mbox versions. I'm also not sure why you don't want to copy emails. How else would they appear on the new server. I suppose you could use rsync to copy the data itself. You use Claws-Mail. If I were in your shoes, I'd bring up the empty Dovecot server and make a new Claws-Mail account for that empty server. Then in Claws-Mail I'd use the copy feature to copy whole folder trees to the new server. Once that's done, I'd reconfigure your original Dovecot so it can serve only on its local machine, and bang, you have your new server, with old emails you can look at. This is similar to the procedure I used to move my Kmail folders (over 100K messages) to Dovecot. http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/201202/201202.htm HTH, SteveT Well, I could do that...

[Dovecot] Problem downloading mail with "large" attachment using Thunderbird....
We have a user that is using Thunderbird on Windows to read mail over IMAP and it works ok, except for downloading mail with "large" attachment.. When opening a mail with a attachment with a size of 14-15MB, TB downloads the attachment seemingly ok, but TB stops when reaching 99%. After TB has stopped, if the user tries to select another mail, TB just hangs and it has to be closed and started again to work again... I have checked the dovecot log, but I can't find anything there... We have also tried to create a log in TB but everything looks ok there also... Is there a known problem with TB and "large" attachment or does anyone know how to fix this, if possible?

[Dovecot] Getting two mails.....
When I receive a mail that is addressed to my email address and also with a cc to a mailinglist I subscribe to, I get two mails, which I guess is expected... But I have just moved to Dovecot from Cyrus, and Cyrus seems to know that this is the same mail, so only one of those two mail is stored on the imap srv... Is there some option I am missing in Dovecot or isn't this possible using Dovecot?

[Dovecot] Creating "special" folders?
Is there anyway to make dovecot create Sent, Draft, etc folder automatically? Or is this the job for a MUA?

Yes...

Nope... That might be the reason?

auth_cache_size is used for only authentication or all sql access?

[Dovecot] Caching?
Any way to minimize the number of sql statements that dovecot do?
(and I tried adding userdb prefetch { } but number of sql calls are still the
same)
Am I doing something wrong or?

Yes, thanks for all the replies It was all a misunderstanding on my part about what secure authentication really was but SSL is up and working anyway :) BTJ
[Dovecot] Secure authentication?
I have enabled SSL support for my dovecot installation but if I enable secure authentication in my MUA, I get an error from dovecot telling me that this is not supported.. Is this because dovecot does not support this or am I missing some config?
