Is the dovecot process still alive? Is the service unresponsive? Is it just not allowing logins? Is the shared NFS store the only thing shared between the two? Is there a load-balancer in front of the machines? I can't see anything out of the ordinary in the log files either. What are the last couple entries in the log files when it "stops"?

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot fails almost every 20 minutes exactly
The issue had to do with PAM. I was getting zombie processes. adding 'args = blocking=yes' to the passdb pam area fixed the issue. Thanks for the response.

[Dovecot] UW-IMAP to Dovecot conversion - How to migrate the folders?
Hi all, I've read so much information on this that I'm a little confused as to what to follow. Here's what's going on: We just migrated away from our AIX machines which were running Postfix and UW-IMAP. We're now running Postfix with Dovecot. I already converted everyone's mbox file to maildir, but now I'm having a little troubles with how to exactly populate their IMAP folders. People are saying they cannot see their folders. These 'folders' they are talking about can be found in their /home directory. I have the following URLs I've been looking at: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat http://people.redhat.com/rkeech/maildir-migration.txt http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-June/023757.html What would be the suggested method to convert them? So far I understand that I need to somehow populate the /home/USERNAME/Maildir/subscriptions file with the items located in /home/USERNAME/.mailboxlist and then I don't know what to do from there. I don't know if I need to incorporate a Dovecot plugin, or if there is a script I can run to do this for me. Since this is a live server, I would prefer to test on a single account before I run a plugin that would effect all users globally. Any help would be very appreciated - thanks in advance! Patrick

Or log in with a client to one of the accounts and use its subscribe feature? With the second method, you could get an idea of what the subscriptions layout is and use a copy / sed script to fix each one. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

Re: [Dovecot] UW-IMAP to Dovecot conversion - How to migrate the folders?
I have, but it didn't do anything that I could tell. I tried resyncing my IMAP but I didn't see the new folder. Does it matter that the UW-IMAP folders are in mbox-like format? It appears each "folder" is a single file, similar to mbox format. Thanks again.

Re: [Dovecot] imap memory footprint rather large

I found the file to be ever growing, so when it had grown back to
160Mb in a single day, I decided to employ cron on the mail server:
11 4 * * * find $HOME/.maildir -type f -name dovecot.index.cache
-exec rm {} \;
Since my mail is fetched in the background anyway, I am happy to
take the performance hit first thing in the morning.
I'm wondering, can this be done safely with connected users?
My guess would be : Yes.
If dovecot has the file open, the OS won't trash it until there are no more
links.
If dovecot is about to open the file, I'm sure Timo would use an
open/create-on-fail pattern, not a test-if-exist/open patter which would lead to
a race.
Worst case I can see is someone's session suddenly slows down a bit.

This script works on Dovecot v1.0.3 on Linux.
Did you forced a re-compile of the script already?

Does it matter that the UW-IMAP folders are in mbox-like format? It appears each "folder" is a single file, similar to mbox format. Yeah, it does matter. Dovecot doesn't allow you to mix-and-match different mail storage formats very easily. You may be able to set something like that up with the Namespaces support in Dovecot, but the easiest thing to do is to convert your mbox files into Maildir. ~Kyle -- Liberty means responsibility.
