Hi all,

I've got a few users I'm trying to migrate from a Mercury Mail server to a dovecot IMAP/POP3 setup. I was hoping to use some sort of imap-copy type script to move email from the Mercury server to dovecot server, but the Mercury box is running so slow it's impossible.

Mercury stores mail in a similar way to Maildirs, different folders with separate files for each mail, stored in plaintext RFC822 format. How sensible would it be to copy the files over from the Mercury server to users maildirs on a Linux server?

The filenames are in a different format but I don't know if that would cause a problem?

Any help gratefully appreciated,
