similar to: Migrating maildirs - Courier to Dovecot

Hi all. I am currently gathering information about migration of Maildir/ structures from Courier to Dovecot. What do you think about http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier ? For each courier Maildir account I want to use http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl to produce dovecot-uidlist file mv courierimapsubscribed subscriptions sed sed -i 's/INBOX\.//' subscriptions

hi list, I've just registered to the list, so please be tolerant ;) I'm currently in the process of planning the migration from courier to dovecot as POP/IMAP-Server. I'm migration from Courier 0.58 (Debian-Etch-packages) to Dovecot 1.1.13 (Debian Lenny Backport). The conversion of the Mailbox from Courier to Dovecot will be done with "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"-script[1],

Hi, About a week ago I upgraded our reasonably heavily loaded mail servers from a pretty recent courier version to dovecot-1.1rc10. IMAP performance on dovecot is amazing, however POP3 performance is worse than courier :-( I have uploaded some munin graphs taken today to http://linweb.atlas.pipex.net/dovecot/; the dovecot server is handling about 2000 pop logins/sec and 300 imap sessions (but

Hi, I'm testing migration from courier to courier-0.57.0 to dovecot-imap-1.1.12 on a debian/sid box. When running the migration script, non of the active users' "courierimapsubscribed" and "courierimapuiddb" files seem to be detected: ZENON:~# ./courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --to-dovecot --recursive /home Testing conversion to Dovecot format Finding maildirs under

Hello.. Another courier -> dovecot migrater here.. I ham having a bit of trouble converting the courier maildir correctly, or actually i'm almost there. The only thing i experience is that forwarded messages and messages marked as junk (in thunderbird) are downloaded again (i am using thunderbird and caching) after running the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script and connecting to the

Howdy, I've just migrated a couple of servers to Dovecot, and am loving it so far. I thought I'd share the courier2dovecot shell script I whipped together (based on the instructions I found in the wiki.dovecot.org migration how-to), for converting Courier-IMAP maildirs to Dovecot format. It can be downloaded from my home page: http://bendiken.net/scripts/ While the script is rather

Hi, Currently we support Courier POP and IMAP for all our users (users can use IMAP as well as POP at the same time). We are thinking about moving to Dovecot; but first moving away from Courier IMAP to Dovecot IMAP (and maybe later also move to Dovecot POP). This would create a mixed environment; after some research I have the following questions. To not break POP3 Courier and still be

Hi all, I am in the process of migrating my Maildir IMAP server from courier-imap to dovecot. I am now at the point of converting my Maildirs into a format that dovecot understands (as per http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier). Problem: ------- #/usr/bin/perl courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --recursive Finding maildirs under . ./courierimapuiddb: OK No such file or directory at

Hey Steffen Thank you for your feedback.

Hello Gang, I am new to dovecot and the only reason (so far) I would like to use dovecot, and in production with 12k+ users, is the fact that it's supposed to be faster and less of a resource hog. Now, sometimes I am really good at reading the documentations but it sometimes happens that one overlooks something. I did read the migration notes three times! My users are in /etc/passwd and I

The problem is the file glob on line 344 in convert_subscriptions() # read updates from the directory my %updates; foreach (<$keyword_dir/*>) { This isn't going to pick up any files beginning with a dot, so most of the update files in the courierimapkeywords directory are going to be skipped.

Dear all, back in January I posted about migration from courier and in particular on the script courier-dovecot-migrate.pl. That script had a bug on BSD (or should I say not-Linux?) type systems*. On FreeBSD (6.1) and MacOSX (10.5) it appended a lot of binary garbage at the end of dovecot-keywords files. On a couple of systems I had not actually run the script with the -- convert option,

Last night we migrated from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot 1.2RC5 and all seems to work fairly well, but I seem to have lost all my mailboxes apart from INBOX. The maildirs are all on the HD in the correct place (/usr/local/virtual/bordo.com.au/jlbrown): mail:jlbrown root# ls -l total 21400 drwxrwxr-x 13 _vmail _postfix 442 Jun 4 00:11 .4D drwxrwxr-x 14 _vmail _postfix 476 Jun

I have an courier IMAP server running. To get sib dirs working I had to rename them all to begin with a period ".". e.g Maildir Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account1/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account2/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account3/{cur,new,tmp} etc If I uninstall Courier and install dovecot, will these "period" dirs be seen by default? I am fairly new to this and

Manao ahoana, Hello, Bonjour, We currently run courier POP . We would like to switch to Dovecot. I encounter problems when migrating the UIDL because we have big Maildirs and POP re-downlading the data is not possible for most of the users. I tried the http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script but I still have the re-downloading event. What are your stories and advices

Dear friends, My intention is to migrate from Courier-Imap Dovecot 4.4.1 to 1.1.16, the problem is that I've noticed that when creating folders using the Courier does not create the file courierimapsubscribed therefore I doubt if this will bring me problems trying to perform the migration script by courier-dovecot-migrate.pl drwx------ 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jun 18 16:38 . drwx------

I've tested this only with a test user. http://dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier # Migrate Courier IMAP (any version) and Courier POP3 (v0.43+) to Dovecot v1.0 # by Timo Sirainen. This is public domain. # Usage: [--quiet] [--convert] [--overwrite] [--recursive] [<conversion path>] # --quiet: Print only errors # --convert: Do

I tried to disable courier-pop3 today in favour of dovecot pop3. Prior to that I ran: find /home -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs --replace /usr/local/scripts/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --overwrite --recursive --convert {} ( /home is hashed two levels deep: /home/a/a/aanton/Maildir/ ) After that, I got lots of errors like: Aug 9 13:02:40 postamt dovecot: IMAP(azenclu): Maildir

Apologies if this is in the archive - did look but couldn't find it. Does anyone have any experience of migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot? We currently run CGP 5.3.4, supporting a small system (20 or so users, one domain). We've been using it for years, and have a mixed bag of MailDir and mbox folders accessed via IMAP clients. Some users have large mail accounts (15GB total).
