Re: [Dovecot] Best way from Mbox to Maildir using 2.17?
Thanks for the tips Noel I'll give that a go. I'm moving just a small number of mailboxes over from system users on one server to a new server using a virtual user setup = dovecot + postfix postfix admin using MySQL. Thanks!

IIRC it shows you how to use it, you need to indicate where the new maildir is, if you have only a few, do them all manually, if you have many, write a quick bash or perl script to do them, and dovecot will create the indexes when they login. You will need to tell dovecot to look for the new location though, if your using system users as I suspect you are, then maildir:~/Maildir should do it *but* dont forget to make sure your MTA knows to use maildir as well, I've not worked with system users for a decade, but I think in postfix home_mailbox = Maildir/ will do it, with sendmail its much more tricky and your best sticking with mbox, if exim, NFI - dont use it :)

Re: [Dovecot] Mailboxes separated from IMAP server
I've got a working setup very similar to this. You want to setup server C as a proxy to B. Server B also needs to have Dovecot IMAP running on it so it has something to proxy to = IMAP PROXY IMAP I'm using MySQL as the backend for Dovecot, so depending on how you're setup this should give you the basic idea anyway. In your dovecot.conf file on Server C you just need to specify a Proxy as part of the password_query... password_query = \ SELECT \ password \ ,username AS user \ ,'y' as proxy \ ,'IP ADDRESS OF B' as host \ FROM \ mailbox \ WHERE \ username = '%u' \ AND active='1' On 22/10/2013, at 8:48 AM, Charles Marcus wrote: On 2013-10-21 3:23 PM, Reymer Antonio Vargas Solano reymervar...@gmail.com wrote: At my university we are trying to implement a distributed email backend, but I have some troubles, The topology: Server A: Postfix+LMTP # MTA Server B: Dovecot+LMTP # Just mailboxes Server C: Dovecot # POP3/IMAP Right now the Server A can leave a received email to the Server B, but I don't know how to communicate Server C to the Server B to retrieve the emails. I think that we should use IMAP protocol, but I am confused about how to connect them, I don't know if we have to use a proxy IMAP server, or another thing.
Re: [Dovecot] Delete to Archive?
Would you need to set the Archive folder up to autosubscribe? Can anyone provide an example? Thanks.

That allows me to do exactly what I want on the client side. Happy to hear. There is a bit of an inconsistency between Mail.app and iOS mail. In Mail.app you have two distinctive buttons/actions, delete (which deletes the email, or moves it to the trash folder) and archive (which moves it to the folder Archive, if there is a folder named 'Archive'). With iOS there is either or. Either delete the email or archive it.
[Dovecot] Proxy and Master Config
I'm just sitting down to configure a Proxy Master Dovecot setup with Postfix and virtual users. I have read plenty about how to configure Dovecot as a proxy, but I'm unclear what's required on the master end. Does the master need the -pop and -imap scripts? or does the proxy handle that and call -deliver on the master? Can anyone explain the basic setup so I get it right. Thanks.
[Dovecot] dsync - convert plugin missing?
I'm looking to convert my mbox mailboxes over to Maildir. But when I try to run the dsync command: (changed with my variables) dsync -u username mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username found on this dovecot v2.X page here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat I get an error that it can't find the convert plugin. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
[Dovecot] setup of dovecot as proxy to dbmail
Can anyone point me in the direction of a detailed how-to for setting up a postfix and dovecot (proxy) node with dbmail? In particular I'm looking for a how-to which shows dovecot authenticating against the dbmail database directly. The only example I've found is this one which requires a duplication of the user database. http://content.fens.org/index.php?q=admin-howto/mail/dovecot2dbmail-proxy Thanks.
