dovecot - Mar 2015 - Courier-dovecot migration issue: Forward and Junk flags

Hello.. Another courier -> dovecot migrater here.. I ham having a bit of 
trouble converting the courier maildir correctly, or actually i'm almost 
there. The only thing i experience is that forwarded messages and 
messages marked as junk (in thunderbird) are downloaded again (i am 
using thunderbird and caching) after running the 
courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script and connecting to the newly configured 
dovecot imap server.. So i think that the Forward and Junk flag is not 
being converted..

Could you check if the converted Dovecot Maildir contains a file 
named dovecot-keywords with contents like this:

0 Junk
1 nonjunk
2 $Forwarded
3 $label1
4 Old
5 $NotJunk
6 $MDNSent
7 $Junk

Could you also check if your Courier Maildir contains a file named 
courierimapkeywords/:list and if this file contains the keywords, too?

Hey Steffen

Thank you for your feedback. I have the following in my Maildir:

cat courierimapkeywords/\:list
JUNK
$Forwarded
$label4
$label1

cat dovecot-keywords
0 JUNK
1 $Forwarded
2 $label4
3 $label1

What do you mean "downloaded again" - how do you see it? Are you
talking about IMAP or POP3 protocol? A missing IMAP flag doesn't cause
redownloading, it would at most cause the mail to not be displayed as
forwarded/junk. It sounds like something else is going wrong (the mail getting a
new UID for some reason?)
