Hi all,
I've read so much information on this that I'm a little confused as to what to follow. Here's what's going on:
We just migrated away from our AIX machines which were running Postfix and UW-IMAP. We're now running Postfix with Dovecot. I already converted everyone's mbox file to maildir, but now I'm having a little troubles with how to exactly populate their IMAP folders. People are saying they cannot see their folders. These 'folders' they are talking about can be found in their /home directory.
I have the following URLs I've been looking at: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat http://people.redhat.com/rkeech/maildir-migration.txt http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-June/023757.html
What would be the suggested method to convert them? So far I understand that I need to somehow populate the /home/USERNAME/Maildir/subscriptions file with the items located in /home/USERNAME/.mailboxlist and then I don't know what to do from there. I don't know if I need to incorporate a Dovecot plugin, or if there is a script I can run to do this for me.
Since this is a live server, I would prefer to test on a single account before I run a plugin that would effect all users globally.
Any help would be very appreciated - thanks in advance!

Have you tried to edit their subscriptions file? Or log in with a client to one of the accounts and use its subscribe feature? With the second method, you could get an idea of what the subscriptions layout is and use a copy / sed script to fix each one.
