...ancient -- been the mail server since Aug-2000]. I saw "dsync(1)" and thought my troubles were over. Only I can't figure out how to make it work with the NT/Domino server as a source for mailboxes. I guess dsync(1) works only in completely *nix environment. I've been trying the imapcopy.pl script from the IMAP Tools web page (http://www.athensfbc.com/imap_tools/), but it is having problems with Notes' choice of the backslash (\) character as a mailbox (namespace?) delimiter. Any suggestions for a stable, reliable (copy/duplicate/mirror/sync) tool that can do the job using onl...

I don't know if this tool already exists, or if not how difficult it would be to implement, but the following is an excerpt from the man page the developer needs to write ;) - "imapcopy", a command-line utility that connects to a given IMAP account and copies the mails to a second IMAP account.

is really a royal pain in the butt. most of the conversion tools only do a partial job. mb2md seems to be the best but it does not convert the from line correctly unless you are using exim for an MTA.

I want to move my home server over to a new machine, both running CentOS. (The present server is running CentOS-5.7, the new one 6.0.) I'm thinking of moving things over one at a time, starting with email. I'm running IMAP on the server, with my email in ~/Maildir/ . I'm wondering what exactly I need to copy to the new machine? Any help or suggestions gratefully received. --
