Hello all, OK, I would really appreciate your help on this. I managed to do a pretty straight-forward and flawless migration on dovecot from one domain to another. However, I have this nagging problem with most of the thunderbird MTAs. When I try to delete some "test" messages I sent to make sure that everything works, it comes back with the following message on the bottom of the Thunderbird window : "The current operation on InBox did not succeed.? The mail server for account "Account at bloomingdomain.gr"? responded [TRYCREATE] mailbox doesn't exist : Trash" Now, I know it has to do something with automatically creating a? trash folder. But don't know anything more. Could someone shed some light on this ? Dovecot v1.2.15 AFAIK CentOS 5.5 x86 (32-bit) other stuff On Clients : Thunderbird v11.0.1 (XP Pro / 32-bit) s. ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis?
I have a suspicion that, as usual, no one is going to? answer my message. Because of the fact that this is a call for help and no-one ever bothers, I 'll just have to re-phrase my question : Here's what I found on the dovecot wiki : imapsync Here's an example of how to run imapsync for a single user: imapsync --syncinternaldates \??--host1 192.168.1.57 --authmech1 LOGIN --user1 leah at example.com --password1 secret \??--host2 127.0.0.1????--authmech2 LOGIN --user2 leah at example.com --password2 secret It is quite easy to script this for a number of users, assuming you have their passwords. Even if you do not, imapsync also supports logging in as an admin user that has the ability to copy message for sub users, and a variety of other authentication options. Is the above what I need if I migrate mailboxes FROM dovecot TO dovecot ? E.g. in my example, I only copy mailboxes from an old "user at domainA.gr" to "user at domainB.gr". Is the above all I need ? Is there a native dovecot tool for this or should I just use imapsync ?

Mainly: do you have a namespace prefix or not? That's about the only thing I can think of related to that error message (e.g. dovecot has non-empty namespace prefix, while TB has empty namespace prefix).
