I can't remember when the user.<user>.#sieve mailboxes were introduced for Sieve, but if they are used in 3.8, you will still have <user>.dav files which index the contents of the #sieve mailbox.

Makes sense, thanks.

Hello Per,

I cannot answer this question.  Somebody who does not want to have <user>.dav files, has to investigate this and propose a patch.  So far you seem the be the only one, who does not want to have <user>.dav files.

Next step would be to propose patch for including upstream.  In whatever way this patch is made, it is unpredictable, if it will be included.  So you keep the patch for yourself, and apply it, when you do again a version jump.

No, we are not going to make any patches, prefer to use official releases.

We can live with the current state of things, I just wanted to get rid of everything unecessary. Funny though that you are the only one answering.

Thanks,

Per

Hello,

you could compile Cyrus Imap with ./configure --disable-http, this will unset the WITH_DAV C-macro, then recompile and create the setup a new.

Or just run ./configure  && make  as the http server is disabled by default.  Then in theory the dav-files should not be created.

The <user>.dav files are sqlite3 databases, you can live with them.

Greetings // Dilyan

Already compiled without http.

Maybe if caldav_create_default was set to false during the first
replication run the .dav files would not be created?

Hi all,

We have completed migrating incrementally from 3.0 to 3.8 in our test
enviroment and here is a question for the list,

There is a some dav* related things created that I assume we do not need
as we do not intend to use the dav*/http features, only a "pure" imap
server.

Example: the <user>.dav files.

Should we live with this or can they be avoided? We are prepared do redo
the enviroment from scratch if necessary.

Thank you,

Per
