[opensuse] migrating imap dovecot to cyrus
Hi all! I am trying to migrate an imap dovecot-fedora server to an imap cyrus-suse. However, I do not know how to migrate the current emails and folders. Could anyone point me to somewhere where to find more information? Does anyone knows about tools for doing that? greetings, jordi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I moved from cyrus to Scalix (Exchange replacement) using a tool called imapsync. Best part is that it's intelligent and only copies messages that aren't already present. That means you can do it on the live mailstore and have a relatively quick redo when the mailstore is disconnected.

That is what I was looking for! It looks like dovecot has the folders at the same hierarchy as the INBOX, so at the root level, and Cyrus has it at the INBOX level. For example: in Dovecot: INBOX opensuse in Cyrus: INBOX |------opensuse so what we tried (and worked quite well) is using the options --prefix2 INBOX/ --exclude INBOX for the folders. Just to mention it here if someone has the same problem. greetings

Careful! Cyrus is not using Maildir, even if it looks like it at first glance. If you simply copy all the folders on the system level you need to reconstruct the mailbox in cyradm after copy, so that Cyrus can rebuild the database for the folder. This should also take care to add the copied subfolders to the mailboxes.db. -- Sandy List replies only please!

why not migrate it to a suse-dovecot server?
always update packages for dovecot can be found at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/mail/
Exactly what I was going to say - dovecot on suse works marvelously for us, and unless you wanted a career as a cyrus administrator, I can't think of why you'd want to move the users to cyrus.
