[Dovecot] Migrating from mbox to maildir, which converter is compatible with dovecot
Hi, I'm testing/debuging the migration from mbox to maildir in a mailserver running Dovecot 1.0alpha5. I migrated all 472715 emails(in a test server) and later noted that dovecot could not get the same flags/status of the emails as in the mbox. I was using perfect_maildir.pl and I think its not dovecot fault. Seems to me that perfect_maildir.pl convert the emails in a way that dovecot could not understand completelly. So, my cuestion is, which mbox to maildir converter can I use that is compatible with dovecot 1.0alpha5 ? Thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver@samera.com.py>
