similar to: Recommended tool for migrating IMAP servers

Hi Friends, I would like to ask you a suggestion: I need to migrate a imap server to a new one and then dismiss the old one. Reading from relative Dovecot documentation page (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration), more tools are shown: UW-IMAP's mailutil, imapsync, YippieMove and Larch. The each mail servers are Linux based, one of this (mine) is Dovecot. Based on your experience which of

Imapsync for sure. Have used it for both IMAP to IMAP and IMAP to Exchange migrations. Works great. > On Dec 3, 2017, at 2:08 PM, x9p <dovecot at x9p.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > I vouch for imapsync.

I've read the web/man pages on dsync, but it's not clear to me whether dsync can be used to export (rather than import) a user's mailbox to a remote non-dovecot IMAP account. (The intention is to use it whenever a user leaves and wants to copy their local mail to Google or whatever. I currently use uw-imapd's mailutil -- it works, but it's dreadfully slow.) As a first crack

Hi, I vouch for imapsync. Have used it in the past with quite a big amount of emails. cheers. x0p > Hi Friends, > I would like to ask you a suggestion: > I need to migrate a imap server to a new one and then dismiss the old > one. > Reading from relative Dovecot documentation page > (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration), more tools are shown: > > UW-IMAP's mailutil,

Is it to be used anyway or should be avoid? Many thanks again Davide

Well, I've read the dsync documentation, but this warning has me a little worried: "Make sure destination is exactly as source, deleting/reverting any changes in destination if necessary" So I followed

Hallo, I recently stumple over some discussion about Sieve and what's the advantage to integrate it into the server rather than the LDA. Most of the filtering capabilites local users want to have performed are related to the INBOX or more preciesly the way to filter the message coming in. However, there are few tasks left: 1) Auto-archive old mail. 2) Drop old mail. 3) "Seen"

We converted from uw-imapd to dovecot but are still having problems with MBX mail folders. The user can't access this "MBX mail folder": [root at volt Resume's]# file "Sys Admin" Sys Admin: MBX mail folder [root at volt Resume's]# mailutil copy ./"Sys Admin" '#driver.unix/new' Can't open mailbox ./Sys Admin: no such mailbox [root at volt

dbox format needs at least two tools: 1. Expunging only marks the message having refcount=0. The actual disk space is freed only after calling a tool pointing to the user's dbox dir. 2. Ability to force index resync/rebuild in case it doesn't figure out itself that there's something wrong. I'm starting to think about building a more generic mailutil tool, maybe something similar

hi! i'm davide from italy and i'm building one live version of Fedora Core3 and, would like to add the verbose bootsplash (for all strartup process) for it i doesn,t understand if is it depending from isolinux, or if i need a patched isolinux version many thanks! -- cosmogonia <http://www.cosmogonia.org/> noprovarenofareononfarenonc'?provare

For more clarity I also attach the content of "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf" # mailbox Junk { # special_use = \Junk # } # mailbox Trash { # special_use = \Trash # } mailbox INBOX/Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox INBOX/Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } Thanks again

Hello. I am currently testing dovecot (0.99.10.8, Debian woody from backports), with the maildir storage. I have noticed that when I use the mailutil tool from uw-imap distribution to transfer my IMAP mailboxes from our current server (uw-imap, mbx format) to the dovecot one, the mails arrival time are apparently lost. I can see this in Pine, using the Arrival sort: the mailboxes on the

We recently switch from up-imapd to dovecot But many users are reporting that they cannot access certain mail folders. The log file has: imap(dws): Sep 14 00:06:19 Error: File isn't in mbox format: /home/research/dws/mail/TaskDL The files in the logs are "MBX mail folders", not "ASCII English text" as are the folders that can be read under Outlook. Can anyone tell me

Hi This is my 1st time here so please be gentle. I have encountered one problem since upgrading from 2.0.19 to 2.2.9 which has me beat. The system provides sasl auth services via inet to a postfix 2.11 system. Since the upgrade postfix complains of no sasl methods available. The same dovecot configuration is used on both versions. Now I get these results looking at the inet connection Version

I want to migrate my big mail folder hierarchy in preparation for converting from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I've got a bunch of mbx format folders but some remain mbox. Has anyone done this? Any scripts out there for automating the conversion to all-mbox? I believe the only format conversion available is mailutil (part of UW-IMAP) and it works by opening an IMAP connection to the server and moving
