Hi, Is it possible to change convert plugin, so it would keep old UIDVALIDITY and UIDNEXT after conversion from mbox to Maildir? As far as I can tell, this shouldn't be a big problem as this information already exists in the mbox. Well, at least for mboxes, that have that information. The problem is easy, if UIDVALIDITY changes during conversion, then client has to reload whole mailbox from the server. And this is not easy for users with 5+ Gb of mail. Thanks, FiL

This is something that has been in my TODO for a while, but it would require pretty large changes so it hasn't been done yet. Maildir -> dbox migration can preserve UIDs though. :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Isn't it only about creating dovecot-uidlist on migration? Anyway, it's your time and I can't ask you to work on my problem first. What about mbox->dbox migration? Does it preserve UIDs? Thanks, FiL
