Hello, I'm sure there is no good answer to my question, but it doesn't take much to ask, so I will. I am about to migrate my current Dovecot IMAP + Popa3d mailbox server to Maildir. I need to keep both protocols (IMAP and POP3) and will be switching to Dovecot on both. The question is simple - is there any way to keep POP3 UIDs through migration, so people won't get duplicates in their inboxes. Second question is not that important but if somebody has a good answer it will be really nice - is there any way to keep IMAP UIDs? With IMAP it won't create dups, but loosing (changing) UIDs will create extra load on the server. I know, this is more about mailbox->Maildir conversion, not dovecot, but this is the only place I can ask this question P.S. am running dovecot on linux FC5 right now, but will be upgrading to FC6 / dovecot 1.0 release at the time of migration. Won't do it before 1.0 final comes out Thank you, FiL

I didn't tested this patch myself, so YMMV. -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator pazke at donpac.ru | PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
