I set-up some spam/ham learning folders where a crontab entry learns the mail and them moves it do a different Maildir folder. Unfortunately, since it has a different dovecot-keywords file, any imap flags get changed to unknown-0, unknown-1 etc.
I tried the following, but it didn't work
mv "${src_ham}"/cur/* "$dest_ham"/new/ cp "${src_ham}"/dovecot-keywords "${dest_ham}"
Is there a simple way to do this correctly without going through IMAP?
No. But you could do something like:
export MAIL=maildir:/home/user/Maildir printf "1 select src\n2 copy 1:* dest\n3 store 1:* +flags.silent \\deleted\n4 close\n" | imap
And are there any more serious consequences of moving mail like this, with dovecot imap running on top.
No.
