Hi,
I?ve searched around for my problem but couldn?t find a solution. My
setup: Centos 5.1 with postfix 2.5.1 (from source) and dovecot 1.0.10
(from source). I?m coming from an old Trustix 2.2 box with postfix 2.2.x
and Courier imap with Maildir format mailboxes. For testing I?ve copied
over some of the mailboxes from the old machine. After logging in to the
new machine with Thunderbird only the incoming and trash folders appear
in the Thunderbird sidebar all the rest are not showing up. When you
send an email the sent folder appears with all mails this account has
sent from the old machine, same with drafts etc. Access a folder
directly and it will appear with all it?s content. This is some kind of
nasty if you have to do this for several hundred folders.
I?ve tried to fix the problem by changing the namespace private
parameter "prefix" to ".". Also tried to rename courierimapuiddb to
dovecot-uidlist. Both tricks don?t work. Unfortunately I can?t find the
mentioned courier-dovecot-migrate.pl, maybe this would help...
Any help and suggestion would be welcome.
Best regards,
Mike
