One thing came to mind - would it be possible to use Dovecot and Disconnected IMAP itself for the transfer, and perhaps thus keep the indexes? If I move the messages from the local mailbox to the IMAP mailbox from within Kmail it should perhaps keep the status?
Also - is there any documentation anywhere (or tips on better google search terms) on what is stored in these indexes? I suppose apart from Read/New status, it also contains whether or not there have been replies to the mail and on what date the email was replied to?
I doubt you need to worry about the indexes. The messages' flag state should be stored in the maildir filenames, and I'd hope that kmail does that too.
How low on your list of priorities would land idea of utility "make-mailstore-tidy"? :-)
P.S. I have "personal mail store" migrated from cyrus (by my own *ugly* migration script) via maildir to dbox. I would like to convert all file names to more "uniform" format before next migration I sure I will see in a few years perspective :-)
