Hi, I'm testing/debuging the migration from mbox to maildir in a mailserver running Dovecot 1.0alpha5. I migrated all 472715 emails(in a test server) and later noted that dovecot could not get the same flags/status of the emails as in the mbox. I was using perfect_maildir.pl and I think its not dovecot fault. Seems to me that perfect_maildir.pl convert the emails in a way that dovecot could

Hi all! There is a script to convert maildir to mailbox in wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat but it doesn't convert any message flags (seen e.t.c.). I wrote a script, which converts most flags and labels: https://bitbucket.org/citrin/scripts/src/tip/dovecot-maildir2mbox.pl It doesn't convert recent flag and UIDs though, because it was not necessary in my case. Do you

I just want to check and make sure not missing anything. I'm trying to convert a customer away from UW. unfortunately, all of the mailboxes are in MBX format (my own mistake coming back to haunt me). mailutil doesn't seem to do conversions properly. It keeps complaining about an existing copy of /mbox and only if I say to -merge append will the copy proceed. mailsync doesn't

Which tool (and from where) should I use to convert mailboxes without problems? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Saurabh. ----- sa at atmos.colostate.edu

I think the reason we're still using mbox is for historical reasons - these mailboxes are decades old. Should I investigate an mbox2maildir conversion? Can I be sure it will do it properly?

Is it possible to have some folders be mbox and some be maildir format? Why you might ask? Sometime for diagnostics I have the Exim MTA archive certain messages in MBOX format and then I want to copy them into an imao folder to look at them with Thunderbird. When I used MBOX all I had to do was copy the file into a folder and it worked. So what I'd like to do is have a folder with a

Hi, I'd like to create a shared folder to be used with an Outlook client and a Thunderbird client. We're currently using mboxes. I've read the documentation here about creating a shared folder: https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared It doesn't make reference to how to do this using mbox format. Is it possible? Should we convert to Maildir? Perhaps there's a way to

Dovecot can do the conversion itself, there is documentation in the Wiki about this, for example https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat In the end, it boils down to something like this: $ doveadm -D -v -o backup -u sven sdbox:~/sdbox...
