I'm about to retire my old mail server.
I'd like to copy the complete IMAP-structure from old -> new.
Old is; SuSE 8.2, Cyrus 2.1.12 - not 'live' New is; SUSE 9.3, Cyrus 2.2.12 - 'live'
The whole thing is largeish (couple hundred megabytes) and complexish (several layers of folders/subfolders).
Large enough and, particularly, complex enough that I'm going to spend days creating folders and copying mail, if I'm to do it 'manually' using an imap client running on my desktop machine.
Both of the servers are physically here.
If at all possible I'd like to avoid installing/changing anything on the old server.
So basically what I'm after is;
Something running on New-server, to 'pull' stuff off of Old-server.
But mostly I'm just asking for pointers;
It seems like a standard enough kind of task, that some sort of migration -tool or -path 'ought' to be included in the distro?
Look into using rsync to transfer the files/folder structure from one machine to the other. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
