If I can't salvage anything useful, is there any adverse effects to me deleting all the "courier*" files/folders from each mailbox and subfolders so when the client connects back when Dovecot's running, it creates it's own UIDs and keywords etc?
I rsync'ed from one mailserver to another and excluded the courier related files. Then I crawled each user's imap folders on both systems with a perlscript and wrote out the results to two files.
As you suggest various logs/indexes were created by dovecot and all my accounts were the same. Baring a few deliveries. You will loose folder subscription information remember and I know nothing about shared folder stuff.
Btw, the difference between courier and dovecot is insane the dovecot machine I am using is not a 3rd of the courier machine and the speed is quite impressive. I hope to see an additional advantage to using dovcot's lda deliver to prep these indexes as well.
