Hello,
I am trying to setup a migration scenario from an proprietary solution to dovecot IMAP/POP3. Whereas am only at the strating point, things appear quite complicated because of the following reasons:
- The proprietary solution uses special/own/proprietary mailbox format (wich is more like maildir but is not maildir)
- I don't have direct access to the filesystem where the mails are stored. The best I could do would be a snapshots of the filesystem
- I have about 1,5TB of mail data.
- Having users to be forced to empty their mailbox before migration or re-download their whole mailbox after migration would be something hard for me to present as a correct option.
Am looking for advices that would avoid me loosing time searching in bad directions. Or even point me to a miraculous tool thatdoes all magic while i have a beer :)
Best regards.
