Thank you!
Here is the whole problem I see:
as I saw how good it is to have messages compressed I used https://github.com/
George-NG/dovecot-maildir-compress script to compress whole mailboxes and thus
save more space on disk. Looks like lock won't worked well so now I can see
lines like that in Do

Hi,
I try to set up dovecot as a proxy server, to proxy requests to several
dovecot-based backend servers. I wand external clients who connects to this
proxy Dovecot to use TLS (this is easy to set up) while want to have
unsecured (plain IMAP/POP) connections to backends.

as I need to store a lot of messages on my IMAP server (order of
900K-1000K; this is an archive for some time, maybe a year or so), I see
some "slowness" in dealing with such a huge amount. I mainly need to do

Just wonder if it is possible to enable/disable IMAP4 on Dovecot (2.0.x
as far) on per-user basis?
The deal is simple: our policy is not to store a lot of mailing on
mailserver (the user should store it locally), thus the 'use POP3'
approach, but for a vary few users it is permitted to use IMA
Hello,
I use Dovecot for rather long time, but I'm still in doubt for some
small things. Here they are:
1. The homedir value points to the place where everything for the user
stored at, while mail_location is something (some place) where mail
stored at. if I deal with pure virtual users (all
slash), which results in real filesystem directory.
Thanks for your time anyway!

But I believe I obey this rule: I create "folder with ONLY folders

create a mailbox, no difference what type of it I need.
I understand PHP isn't the only script language to deal with IMAP, so I seek
for advice how IMAP works with on protocol level.

Hello,
I'm now dealing with funny problem. I try to use Dovecot (2.1.rc1,
actually) and mbox format to store old mailing, to keep logic of "one

If I'd choose Maildir, I'd be able to create hierarchical folders (like
"OldMail -> Maillists -> Dovecot"), and in fact on disk

If it be possible to have per-IMAP-folders mdboxes, I love to use it.
But from what I know and tried this is not way mdbox used to work, right?

Message GUIDs are pretty good for that.
Oh, thank you! Nice news!
With Maildir the message GUID is typically the same as the Maildir base
filename (i.e. everything before ':' character).
But what if I one day decide to convert my maildir's to mbox'es?
I really plan to do such conversion in

file info another folder in the same mail box - after I start dovecot,
will the UID for the message be the same or not?

Hello,
I'm still playing with search messages from/to specified email address.
In fact I need to do that to take such messages and copy it to another
mailbox (so that box will contain 'Search results' and will be available
to examine by any IMAP client). I've put my mailings in mdbox storage

I now seriously consider

FreeBSD, or XFS over LVM on Debian with compression in mdbox itself. I see pros

Timo, Stan,
I've just tested mdbox and find it pretty nice for me, but now I got
some questions for you:
1. mdbox uses 'a lot' files (m.1, m.2 ... etc), and the default size if
2Mb. Looks like not even every message can fit into such storage

Hello, Stan,
in fact the only thing I miss even with my current scheme is permanent
ID assigned to the message so I can easily find it despite the IMAP
mailbox it is now (so if someone moved the message from one
mailbox/folder to another, the ID allows to retrieve it fast anyway).
You see, w
es, b.
Are there any ways I can search or parse mboxes or mdboxes not directly and not
with IMAP (I'm afraid it slooow in dump parsing)?

What I'm afraid for is how database storage should be planned (storage,
CPU, RAM, scaling when will be over-filled). When dealing with files

everything. Adding database involves tune

Could you please advice me how to speed up message search?

will be slo-o-o-ow search, even with indexes (I mean, virtual folder
that is defined as search over 1000 folders will be not that fast).
The mailbox is maildir by nature. How can I archive these goals with
smallest load possible, and if it is possible at all?

No of course it won't. But dsync seems to be a solution that won't deal
with storage level so it will resolve conflicts easily.
Personally I prefer rsync :)
