dumb question warning:

I have two email accounts, me@tld1 and me@tld2 often, get emails intended (by me) for me@tld2 sent to me@tld1

this is purely for my own preferred record keeping preference,

as I run the server, is it 'a really bad things' if I simply copy relevant mail files from /var/vmail/vmail1/tld1..../cur to /var/vmail/vmail1/tld2.../cur ?

rather than forward emails as I have been doing?

thanks

I used to move mail files around but now use "doveadm move".

You can probably move mail from me@tld1 to me@tld2 with something like:

doveadm move -u me@tld2 INBOX user me@tld1 MAILBOX INBOX subject party

where party is a string that appears only in the subject line of the emails you want to move.
