Greetings. I have a bunch of mbox files that I want to import to an existing user, each into a new mailbox. That is, I want to import the file project1.mbox to user Foo, into a newly-created mailbox called "Project 1". Is there a dovecot tool to do this on the server?
do you have access to the file system of the mail storage? Can you call doveadm on the server? What mail storage do you use now, Maildir, mbox, ... ?
Sorry for being unclear earlier. Yes, yes, mbox.
copy project1.mbox to '/path/to/user/mail/storage/Project 1.mbox' and make sure, the user has file system rights to access the file at all.
Maybe, you need to add the new mailbox to the user's subscription file, in order to have it show up.
After a week, I'm at this again. Now having read up on doveadm, I am trying the following:
sudo doveadm import -u Foo mbox:/home/phoffman/project1.mbox "Project 1" all
However, that gets the result:
Initializing mail storage from mail_location parameter failed: mbox: mbox root directory can't be a file
Which bit am I missing here?
