Re: pigeonhole/lda accessing -m folder
fixed my problem.
if somebody is interested.
I added an variable to the environment extension, which is quite easy.
And the value of the folder is already there. so this is all:
src/lib-sieve/plugins/environment/ext-environment-common.c
static const char *envit_spfolder_get_value
(struct sieve_instance *svinst,
const struct sieve_script_env *senv)
{
return senv-default_mailbox;
}
const struct sieve_environment_item spfolder_env_item = {
.name = spfolder,
.get_value = envit_spfolder_get_value,
};
after that the variable can easily be used in a script like
if anyof ( environment :matches spfolder *) {
set myfolder ${1};
}

hi jost thx for the reply,
by access I mean to read the variable

}

Depending on what you mean by access, this could be as easy as
require fileinto;
fileinto destfolder;

opening a maildir ?
Hello, I have a maildir on my Ubuntu PC. I used imapsync + dovecot to copy all my emails on it. What would be a convenient way to access all the emails ( I want to go through and download all attachments). So a tool with some GUI will be nice. Appreciate if someone could help here. Thanks Kevin

Using a separate passdb per service
Situation: one front-facing server running Dovecot as IMAP/POP3/
ManageSieve proxy, a mixture of IMAP servers (Dovecot, Exchange, ...)
in the back-end. Dovecot's passdb does lookups against MySQL which
contains a simple user/host mapping, the actual authentication happens
on the back-end IMAP servers. The configuration is more or less as
described here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy
Now I would like to add a Postfix instance on the front-facing server
which listens on the submission port and authenticates users via SASL
using the local Dovecot's UNIX socket. The idea being that a user only
needs to remember one single hostname, one username and one password
for all mail-related services.
The problem is that Dovecot is operating in proxy mode, which means
that the password_query returns NULL as the password and explicitly
returns a field nopasswd containing Y. Thus, users can not
authenticate against the UNIX socket.
What I think I want to do is convince Dovecot to use one passdb for the
imap/pop3/managesieve services and different one for the auth service.
The configuration snippet below doesn't work, but it should illustrate
what I want to achieve:
protocols = imap pop3 sieve
service auth {
passdb sql {
driver = sql
args = /etc/dovecot/mysql-auth-sasl.conf.ext
}
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
user = postfix
group = postfix
mode = 0666
}
}
# IMAP/POP3/ManageSieve auth against MySQL
passdb sql {
driver = sql
args = /etc/dovecot/mysql-auth-default.conf.ext
}
Example mysql-auth-sasl.conf.ext
driver = mysql
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=mail password=somethingrandom
password_query = SELECT password AS password FROM users WHERE login = '%u'
Example mysql-auth-default.conf.ext:
driver = mysql
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=mail password=somethingrandom
password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'Y' AS
proxy FROM users WHERE login = '%u'
Any pointers?

Re: Using a separate passdb per service
I'm not sure if this would work, but possibly having two separate
instances of dovecot with separate configs running may work for you.

backing up email / saving maildir on external hard drives
Hello, Yesterday I tried to back up a 40GB maildir . I tried to move the maildir from home to external HDD but failed. Decided then to compress it(which took several hours). Now changing the disk format from FAT to exFAT to allow the transfer for the large compressed file. How does one back up emails on a external drive? Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Some advice would be greatly appreciated. i backup my maildir with rsync to my home nas. i assume you are using linux or similar, so when backing up to an external hdd i'd also use rsync to copy over the maildir as is to the external hdd but use a different filesystem n that hdd like ext4 or xfs or anything else than fat/vfat/exfat. when something goes wrong you can just copy the files back. what was the error message you got when you tried to copy to the ext. hdd? regards - c
