Hello,
in a current migration project we want to migrate from Cyrus to
Dovecot. The Cyrus server stores expiry information as ANNOTATIONS.
On the Dovecot side I've set up the metadata/annotations plugin and it
is working.
But 'dovecot backup ?' doesn't seem to sync these metadata? Did I
miss
something here? Shouldn't the metadata be part of the backup?
(I'm using the latest 2.2.22 for sync purposes, as the stock dovecot
just crashed when used as 'doveadm backup ?')
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
Viele Gr??e aus Dresden

The Cyrus server stores expiry information as ANNOTATIONS.ANNOTATE(-EXPERIMENT-1) is about per-email metadata. I think you're talking about the METADATA extension, which is per-folder.> On the Dovecot side I've set up the metadata/annotations plugin and it > is working. > > But 'dovecot backup ?' doesn't seem to sync these metadata?

It's not a small amount of code, but it shouldn't be very difficult to implement either. Anyway something that is very low priority for me right now, especially since you're the first person to ever request this functionality.
