[Dovecot] mbox vs. maildir storage block waste

Hi. I recently mentioned in several posts, that I'd tended to use mbox rather than maildir, because you don't loose so much space (due to always allocating full blocks per maildir file and thus per mail). I made some tests of my archive, which consists of some 3,4 million mails at a total of 42G

[Dovecot] does dovecot interpret any mail headers specially with maildir?

Hi. For mbox, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox#Dovecot.27s_Metadata lists a numer of mail headers: - X-IMAPbase - X-IMAP - X-UID - Status - X-Status - X-Keywords - Content-Length that are treated specially by dovecot. It also suggests, that these should be stripped by the LDA (I guess

Re: [Dovecot] how to best import Evolution/Thunderbird mail into dovecot?

Hi again... Things are even much much worse... (oh how I hate Evolution right now). I found a bug in Evolution, where it apparently corrupts all mail by incorrectly (not) quoting From_ lines in headers/bodies... It quotes lines matching "^From (.*)$" as ">From \1" but it does not quote at all al

Hi. I'm migrating all my mail archive (some 60 GB) from Evolution (which is really a broken piece of software) into dovecot. Now I face the problem how to do this best... Evolution (which is still a old 2.32.x version) itself uses mbox files, in a special hierarchical structure to allow subfolde

I have Dovecot running well on my Mandriva mail hub, handing out IMAP to the household LAN. This is 1.2.15. Eventually I'll upgrade the OS and get 2.x, but this is working fine. So this question is really about the mail readers I use and how they make use of Dovecot. I have Thunderbird on
