uw-imap to dovecot conversion tool
i plan to switch from uw-imap to dovecot on a couple of medium size
systems and so i have written a conversion tool that understands mbox,
mbx, and mix formats and converts to maildir format while trying to
preserve uid info, keywords, flags, subscriptions, etc. it seems to work
for me now, but i think some feedback might be useful. so if you have
some files to convert and a desire to help,

convert plugin problem from UW-IMAP
Though there are conversion scripts, I'd like to give the convert
plugin a chance. I have Dovecot 1.0.1 on Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
(Linux 2.4.27), and we had UW IMAP 2002e. Dovecot seems to work OK
(e.g. I can add copy messages to it), but things break when I activate
the convert plugin.
The Wiki suggests
convert_mail = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u # <--- locally changed to

UW-IMAP to Dovecot conversion - How to migrate the folders?
Hi all,
I've read so much information on this that I'm a little confused as to
what to follow. Here's what's going on:
We just migrated away from our AIX machines which were running Postfix
and UW-IMAP. We're now running Postfix with Dovecot. I already
converted everyone's mbox file to maildir, but now I'm having a little
troubles with how to exactly populate

move from imap-uw
Hello!
I've just subscribed and I'd like to ask. Is there any troubles if I
change my imap-uw with davecot? Will davecot pick up imap-uw created
folders (mboxes)? I use all protocols: imap, imaps, pop and pops.
I've seen some problems with mbox was mention on this maillist. What
kind of problem?

UW-IMAP migration to namespaces
Hello,
I am trying to migrate existing UW-IMAP installation to dovecot 1.1.14
and I am having troubles with namespaces.
As you know UW-IMAP allows full system access to home directory of a
user and you can set up dovecot to do that as well, but I would like to
use namespaces.
If I set my namespaces like this:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
inbox = yes

Migrating from UW-IMAP
Greetings.
I've got a poorly conceived and implemented system I'm trying to migrate
off of. Right now we've got 20K accounts or so, in mbox form, under
UW-IMAP. Eventually we're going to move to Maildir format, but the
first step is to move to Dovecot on one of our imap servers as a proof
of concept. In other words, all config changes have to take place on
the dovecot

uw-imap compatability hack?
Hi all
Apologies if this question has already been asked before...
I'm migrating from a uw-imap setup where the mail folders were in a
subdir mail/ in the users' home directories.
All of the clients are configured with 'IMAP server directory' set to
mail/ (Thunderbird) and it would be difficult to change this on the
clients (there are 1000s of them)
I want to use maildir and I

Migrating from UW: mbx detection and conversion
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

Questions still about a uw-imap -> dovecot conversion
The more I read about all of this, the more I'm thinking about moving to
maildir format. My switchover this weekend is full of holes due to the
way user's imap folders were laid out. Some had folders in their home
directory and others might have folders in their /home/mail directory.
Some how, Horde/Imp seemed to keep track of it. Dovecot is not doing so
well.

Migration from UW-IMAP
I am attempting to test out dovecot on a server on a separate IP address from the live, functioning UW-IMAP. I am having mixed results with dovecot. An entirely new account that's never been used with UW-IMAP seems to work fine, but that's really not the point of the exercise.
If I try changing over an existing account to use dovecot, I get a variety of issues. Testing with Apple

UW-IMAP .imaprc - does dovecot use this file in any way
Hi,
We are in the process of settings up a test server to help us test
moving from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I didn't see any reference to the
UW-IMAP .imaprc file, does Dovecot just ignore this file.

UW-IMAP -> Dovecot : patch to remove nasty "internal messages" from UW-IMAP ?
Hello there,
We want to move from UW-IMAP to Dovecot (mbox format), works like a
charm, but UW-IMAP has that bloody habbit to make a stupid message in
all his mailbox files :

I actually modified the old UW IMAP 2002 SPEC file from RHL9/FC1,
and modified a few config files, to support UW IMAP 2004b.
I made one with both RFC3501 (no text passwords over SSL) and

Migration Problem UW-IMAP to Dovecot Maildir
I've just replaced our ancient (10-year old) mail server running
Sendmail/UW-IMAP on Solaris with Postfix/Dovecot 2.1.10 running on Linux
on new hardware. I opted to go with virtual users and I didn't want to
create system accounts and I might end up hosting another department's
mail as well.
We have a mix of POP3 and IMAP users, roughly 90 total. The POP3 user

Corrupt mbox folders after migration from uw-imap
After migrating our mail server from uw-imap to dovecot at the
weekend we've had a few corrupted mbox folders. I assume this is
due to messages with bad Content-length headers. Is there any way of
checking the Content-length of messages in mbox folders?
Thanks

Converting from UW-IMAP to dovecot - odd client problems
Our installation currently uses an old version of UW-IMAP. Instead of
upgrading to the latest
version, we're in the process of testing dovecot 1.0.13 on a Solaris 9
machine (using a different
set of network ports of course so both the old and new systems can
coexist during testing).
We've been asking selected users to switch from UW-IMAP to dovecot in
order to test various

migrating POP3 from UW IMAP: X-UIDL and X-UID
With a INBOX mbox created by UW IMAP
the messages in INBOX mbox contains the X-UIDL field
When I use Dovecot POP3 with
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu
on the first run, X-UID is inserted, but all messages are downloaded again.
What am I missing, I don't want the clients to download the
read messages again.
Thanks

convert plugin: endless conversion and duplicate messages
Hi,
When an mbox has a filename with a period, the Dovecot 1.0.1 convert
plugin will endlessly convert the same mbox causing duplicate messages.
To reproduce, create try converting two mboxes: one with a valid name
and another with an invalid name. Then, repeat the login procedure a
few times.
Dovecot should do something more graceful such as replacing periods with
another character.

imap flags on uw-imap
I am talking with a client about moving from CentOS 3.7 to CentOS 4.x
and migrating their uw-imap to cyrus-imapd but in the process, would
want to do a clean install. This is problematic in that if I want to
preserve the IMAP flags for all the users INBOX and other mail folders,
I would have to move them to another computer and then use something
like imapsync (which I've used before) to copy
