mailbox in different filesystem

[Héctor Moreno Blanco]

Hello everyone,

We have Dovecot 2.1.6 with Maildir.

We would like to perform some kind of mail archiving with a mailbox in a different storage, for example a mailbox called ARCHIVED, with different disks (slower...).
Is possible to locate this mailbox in other storage (SAS, Fiber...) and how can we do it?

Thank you very much in advanced.
Kind regards.

H?ctor Moreno

That depends on what exactly "ARCHIVED" is.

1) is it a "folder" of each user, check out namespaces or symlinks.

2) is it a mailbox with subfolders, check out public namespaces or create
an user, where the mail location points somewhere else, e.g. via userdb or
symlinks

Thanks for the quick response Steffen.

I mean that every user has its own mailbox to archive mails, in other different storage. Obviously, that namespace/mailbox will have subfolders (months, years, from...).
I'll check out how to do it with namespaces/symlinks.

Thank you very much.
Kind regards.
