I was hoping some one might be able to offer me some advice on a little problem I have. I am looking to A. move from mbox to maildir B.
I have the very same problem. The only difference is that I have already migrated to dovecot and using mbox for both pop3 and imap. Am still looking for the good solution to migrate to Maildir without making my clients re-download all their mail (they won't get dups with imap, but downloading gigabytes of mail isn't good idea either.
I have much the same problem, except that in my case I think my ignorance of dovecot is a major factor.
I have moved all my email (on my server) to ~/Maildir , with folders ~/Maildir/inbox/cur , etc. I'm using kmail under Fedora 7, and have a maildir Account on the server with the directory ~/Maildir specified in the kmail settings.
Should I actually have an IMAP (or rather IMAPS) Account on kmail on the server? [The kmail documentation on this point is not clear, at least to me.]
I can see my email with kmail on my server OK, but do not see it on my laptop, with an IMAPS account specified.
I had already changed mail_location in /etc/dovecot.conf on the server to read mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir and re-started dovecot (on the server).
I'm pretty sure I am doing something silly - any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
but cannot see it with IMAPS spec
