Re: Problems Converting from Cyrus to Dovecot (cyrus2dovecot)

I have been attempting to use the cyrus2dovecot script, to no avail.

I have many years of content that I want to convert from Cyrus to

Dovecot; with the above not working, what are other options out there? Another idea I had is simply set up another IMAP server (using Dovecot) and drag-and-drop and just wait, which I may end up doing.

In the above, I copied over my entire /var/imap and /var/spool/imap to

another system; there is only one account (mine), so calling the script was fairly easy; it just doesn't work.

inboxes=the "myaccount" that was copied over

/home/myaccount/cyrus2dovecot --cyrus-inbox /home/myaccount/inboxes/%u

\

              --cyrus-seen /home/myaccount/varimap/user/%h/%u.seen

\

              --cyrus-sub /home/varimap/user/%h/%u.sub      \
              --dovecot-inbox /home/myaccount/dovecot/Maildir \
              myaccount

the log output complains of:

cyrus2dovecot [myaccount]: (warning) Index record missing for:

INBOX/62020.

and correctly complains about squat indices, as that's not a file it

would handle. There is no output into the Maildir, however.

All directory paths are correct.

Thanks.

  I've never used cyrrus, so I wonder if what the script does is create

new index and rename the files containing email. Which leads to filename convention. What I do know is that the times I had issues with indexes, I just deleted the index file and let Dovecot create a new one.
