Hello everyone, I'm using getmail to fetch some external mails from POP3 into a dovecot mailbox (providing IMAP). Getmail seems to have some serious problems keeping track of mails already fetched. I have every Mail exactly twice in my Mailbox delivered by Dovecot. Of course they are not in the original external POP3 Inbox.
I hope I'm in right place here. I think the problem is not dovecot related, but getmail. As there is a huge number of user complains about getmail (and obviously no alternative?!) I hope to find some help here for a workaround. I noticed getmail can be configured for some kind of filtering to sort out Mails for local delivery to dovecot. http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/configuration.html#filter-examples Does anyone know how to query the message-id (given by mail-headers) with doveadm? My first test was this: > doveadm fetch -u my-mail...@domain.net "mailbox date.sent" message-id > "<369408722.286104911.1547114312259.foo.r...@someone.org>" But then I noticed this is only ment to be used with dovecot internal GUID - I think... Is it possible to query for the mail message-id also? Is it posible to reconfigure indexing to include this propery from the original message-file? I made a small perl-script to extract it using Perl-Lib Email::Simple. > To: my-mail...@domain.net > *Message-ID: <369408722.286104911.1547114312259.foo.r...@someone.org>* > Subject: Some test I also already tried the doveadm deduplicate, but this also doesn't work as it is also basing on the internal GUID of dovecot and every duplicate-message seems to have a new, unique GUID. > doveadm deduplicate -u gabriel.kaufm...@gmx.net mailbox-guid May be anyone know a better solution. -- Best regards Gabriel Kaufmann
