dovecot - Jan 2015 - from Cyrus to Dovecot, seen status on cyrus.index files

Hello,

Using cyrus2dovecot (https://github.com/a-schild/cyrus2dovecot) I have
migrated some test mailboxes from Cyrus (2.4.17) to Dovecot (2.2.9).

The problem I'm having is that the seen status is in cyrus.index files,
which cyrus2dovecot doesn't understand.

Does anyone use cyrus2dovecot for migrations? If so, how do you deal with
seen status when it is stored in the .index files?


Many thanks in advance,
Norberto

Why don't you use the migration tool that comes with Dovecot bundled  
instead, namely dsync? It claims to preserve almost virtually  
everything from the old server.

Yes, but this software which is not related to the one you mention:

The two are identical.  Apparently someone put cyrus2dovecot on github.
 Maybe it will change in the future.

However, we recently migrated from cyrus to dovecot using this piece of
software.

The thing you are looking for is probably the switch -S,
--cyrus-seen=PATH with which you tell the script where to find the cyrus
seen.db.  Using this we had no problems with seen flags for regular
mailboxes.  But migrating shared mailboxes was a PITA ... so if you have
these, be prepared for troubles.

I've used dsync but it's too slow.

Also, I have some users with shared mailboxes. Those mailboxes get
duplicated. Either this is the way it works or I'm doing something wrong.
If I could get dsync to not duplicate shared mailboxes, I think I could use
it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
