This seems to be important to my problem. But I have no idea what it means by 'migrating the message uid'. Could soneone give me a hint and how to do that? I am using mbox format both in uw-imap and the current dovecot.
Cheers Joshua
From the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf comments on my machine:
# POP3 UIDL (unique mail identifier) format to use. You can use # following variables: # # %v - Mailbox's IMAP UIDVALIDITY # %u - Mail's IMAP UID # %m - MD5 sum of the mailbox headers in hex (mbox only) # %f - filename (maildir only) # # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu # # [... snipped ...]
# So, you'd want to add to your dovecot.conf: # pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu
