[Dovecot] Converting from maildir to dbox

[Kjartan Andreassen]

Hi,

We are getting the users homedir from sql ( in dovecot-sql.conf) and using
the convert script we have the following settings:

mail_location = dbox:%h/dbox
convert_mail = maildir:%h/Maildir

This just gives an error on all the folders saying they already exists.
Does anyone have a config file where they have a working dbox
configuration?

Regards,

Kjartan

[Dovecot] Converting from Maildir to dbox

[Kjartan Andreassen]

Hi,

How do i convert from Maildir to dbox using the convert plugin?

My users reside in /home/user/Maildir.

In the dovecot.conf file i've set up 

convert_mail = dbox:%h 

but I am not sure about the syntax.  Im getting the error:

Couldn't create mailbox directory INBOX
Mailbox conversion failed, exiting

Thanks

[Dovecot] Regarding the UIDLIST

[Kjartan Andreassen]

Hi,

I wonder if the UID's in the UIDLIST will ever change for a given email? Eg
with courier it is recreated sometimes, but can i 100% rely on that the
UIDs will never change? Or is there anything else i can rely on that will
never change? The reason I'm asking is that i want to link certain tasks
etc etc to an email, and the only way to get a unique link is that if the
uidlist or something else unique never changes.

Thank you.
