It gets rewritten on every search in my setup. As I did searches before it should have a GUID, right?

Fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/15c32384817b Did some tests with the fix, not sure it works correct/as expected: $ time doveadm fetch -u u...@domain.tld hdr mailbox Public/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot uid 1039 real0m0.053s $ time doveadm fetch -u u...@domain.tld hdr mailbox-guid adeffe1c8b7ba64bb377a998a2df uid 1039 real0m0.418s It takes considerably longer when using 'mailbox-guid' compared to mailbox name, wonder why that is… I'm also not sure why it would recursively mangle all 'dovecot-uidlist' files within the namespace (it does in a public maildir namespace). This is really dangerous when missing the proper -u parameter. Say you run it as 'root' and it should be run by 'vmail' really, then effectively all 'dovecot-uidlist' files will be owned by the wrong user afterwards… (root vs. vmail).

I wanted to use the GUIDs because they are spit out on searches. Guess will have to use names then if faster. Maybe some day mailbox list indexes are created and they offer fast access to GUIDs. The mailbox GUID is stored in dovecot-uidlist file. If the mailbox doesn't already have a GUID, it's added there. So if the mailbox would have a current index it would not rebuild it? In other words: Wouldn't the Dovecot Mailing-List be current as it gets updated on every new post presumably? It was also rebuilt...

[Dovecot] Doveadm search in public namespaces
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Say I want to create a script to perform some 'doveadm' tasks. Is there any particular reason why mailbox-guids would not work for public namespaces? Let's search something to play with: $ doveadm search sentbefore 01-jan-2011 mailbox Public/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot adeffe1c8b7ba64bb377a998a2df 1021 […] Trying to fetch headers using mailbox-guids *fails*: $ doveadm fetch hdr mailbox-guid adeffe1c8b7ba64bb377a998a2df uid 1021 …while it works using mailbox name: $ doveadm fetch hdr mailbox Public/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot uid 1021 Seems odd.
