I have a dovecot 2.0 dovecot server set up for https/imap with spam, av, and some preliminary sieve filters in place.
Our current email is outsourced and so we have used POP3 to keep all email on our systems for many years.
I have run tests to move mail to the new imap server and that seems to work pretty well.
However, we have lots of mail going back over a decade and used a lot of aliases that forwarded email to many users. I find the moving mail multiple times using Thunderbird results in multiple copies of the same email.
Is there a best practice for moving mail such that we can take advantage of the hard link feature for all those older copies that are currently in POP3 files?
It would also be nice to be able to auto file things. I don't see the sieve filters being activated when I copy mail in Thunderbird.
Many thanks in advance for any guidance.
Kris
