Database user ? LDAP
Here is an other problem : we don't have uid/gid stored in our LDAP
database. Do we have to configure dovecot with a dovecot specific
user/group ?
Yes, one or more (for one you have mail_uid/gid settings with v1.1).
See http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserIds
no problem
Mail DB ? Cyrus maildir You'll have to convert to standard maildir: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Cyrus
Thanks for the url, I've already seen it before and the script
cyrus2courrier seems good but we wonder why you didn't mention
imapsync ? (maybe because for mass migration we must have a clear
password file?)
Most importantly imapsync doesn't preserve message UIDs. cyrus2courier
is also faster since it doesn't have to write all the mail data, just
rename the files.
Capability ? Sieve / Quota On latest version (1.1.2 currently), no problem, but a newer/full
rewrite to provide native sieve capability is in progress, which
will provide much better control High Performance without hacking conf files ! this is one of dovecots strongest points imo...Indeed, we bench cyrus and dovecot from scratch and dovecot seems to
be realy fast !
Benchmarking IMAP servers for real-world usage is a bit difficult. http://imapwiki.org/Benchmarking
