mdbox

A client zipped up their mail directory for archiving and now needs to recover the email. Their hosting account no longer exists. Is there anyway of extracting the email out to text, pdf, or anything humanly readable? Any help appreciated.

After a few conversion over time we noticed we had a mixed enviroment on our cPanel server. To handle better recovery we wanted to move all mailboxes to maildir format. We started "Mailbox Conversion",choose to "Convert to maildir", selected the users and selected "Keep old mailbox files"...

I've searched and found no answers relating to how cPanel servers handle deleted emails from mdbox storage. I know there are settings for rotation, both in size and in time, but it appears that just relates to how often a new file is started; not anything to do with how existing files are...

hello, we converted some of our servers to mdbox and it seems that the old emails are also compressed. But, now we have a problem with the quotas. ALL the users used quota are to 0 ... I did a try with the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fixquotas script, but the used quota are still 0. What can i do...

To get my mail compresses, I converted all accounts on our server from maildir to mdbox, then mdbox to maildir. A couple mailboxes didn't convert from mdbox to maildir, the rest of their account got converted. Is there a command line option to convert these mailboxes? If not what is best...

Hello, since v66 of whm, we now have Dovecot compression. I read up on it, and understand by activating it, it will compress future emails from either mdbox or maildir accounts. Does this option affect reliability in any way ? as in data corruption or unable to read the compressed emails...

Hello, I am currently thinking of converting the biggest email accounts to mdbox to help with performance. I was wondering if there is any disadvantages to move to mdbox, I am asking because in WHM on the conversion screen, under maildir, it says "improves reliability"... Does that mean mdbox...

Hello, I was wondering if there was an official way to detect using ssh if a domain is using mdbox or maildir. The reason why is because I am building a little script that would run on cron and empty the spam assassin spam folder. But since the mdbox and maildir storage directories are different...
