FOLLOW UP AGAIN: Kenmore / Whirlpool dryer won’t stay running or heat?
It's been over a year and a half since the last issue we've had with this hunk of junk dryer. This time it popped a circuit and fried the main board. I ended up having to get the extended warranty (you can get a $200 1 year extended warranty for any sears appliance that is less than 10 years old) to have it be replaced (I didn't know what the exact issue was and I wasn't going to pay to replace part after part until it was fixed). AVOID THESE PRODUCTS.
Converting from mbox to Maildir with Postfix and Dovecot on Debian
This is the procedure I used for converting from mbox to Maildir with Postfix and Dovecot running Debain 5.x. This assumes that you have individual system accounts for each mail user and that the mbox files are currently in /var/spool/mail/USER and /home/USER/mail/FOLDERS.
All the following commands/edits will need to be done as root:
Install mb2md:
Stop the mail servers:
Edt the /etc/posfix/main.cf:
Edit the /etc/procmailrc (if you are using procmail for local delivery/filtering):
Edit the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
At this point I'd backup the user accounts just in case there is an issue.
Create a bash script with the following and execute it:
At this point you will need to restart the mail servers:
All the following commands/edits will need to be done as root:
Install mb2md:
aptitude install mb2md
Stop the mail servers:
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
/etc/init.d/dovecot stop
Edt the /etc/posfix/main.cf:
home_mailbox = Maildir/
Edit the /etc/procmailrc (if you are using procmail for local delivery/filtering):
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
MAILDIR=$ORGMAIL
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
Edit the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
At this point I'd backup the user accounts just in case there is an issue.
Create a bash script with the following and execute it:
for i in $( ls -1 /home ); do
su -l -c 'mb2md -m' $i; ## convert /var/spool/mail/USER
su -l -c 'mb2md -s mail -R' $i;
done
At this point you will need to restart the mail servers:
/etc/init.d/dovecot start
/etc/init.d/postfix start
