Hi I am new to the mailing List, and was hoping to get some assistance migrating from an Old Cucipop + Sendmail server (running on a old Redhat v 7) to a new Dovecot setup. My new installation is Dovecot + Postfix. All is setup and working, however I want to trasnsfer the contents of the mailboxes from my old server to this new Dovecot setup. Please let me know what information will be required to transfer the mailboxes - I have tried a number of things, but with no luck. I think the correct method is the one below, but I am getting UIDL errors and AUTH errors and not sure if this is the right approach ---- PLEASE HELP dsync -u <DOVECOT_USER> mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=<MAIL_BOX_COPIED_FROM_OLD_SERVER> ~# dsync -u hendrikv at tcmvpn.co.za mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/User_mbox/hendrikv dsync(hendrikv at tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3c(196.26.136.162): AUTH PLAIN failed: -ERR Invalid command, try one of: USER name, PASS string, APOP name digest, QUIT dsync(hendrikv at tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3c: Disconnected from remote server dsync(hendrikv at tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3_migration: Couldn't sync mailbox POP3-MIGRATION-NS/INBOX: Internal error occurred.

I have just made a new server with Maildir format. Probably it is not the thing to do but I copied the old ~/Maildir/cur contents to new ~/Maildir/new (or cur I forget which) seems to work except they all get the same date. mick -- key ID: 0x4BFEBB31

I think you have set pop3c_master_user setting, which enables this behavior.
