[Dovecot] merging Maildir from old machine to new machine
Dovecot version 1.0.rc26. Situation is essentially a forklift upgrade to make more horsepower available for email. Given a new mail store using Postfix and Dovecot (Maildir), is it possible to transfer from the old mail box (running the same config) or will this generate problems with the various indices maintained by Dovecot? Kind regards and thanks/ldv Larry Vaden Internet Texoma, Inc.
