Hey,
I am working on doing this migration myself. I have migrated some test users. And I have build this script to help me, maybe you can use it for inspiration(It is on your own risk to use it!):
#!/bin/sh #Source="/var/vpopmail/" Destination="/var/mail/vmail/" i=0 for line in $(cat mailboxs.txt) do if [ -d $Source$line.maildir ] then # Create destination echo "--Creating $Destination$line" mkdir -p $Destination$line
# Load new data from backup
echo "--Copy from $Source$line to $Destination$line"
cp -a $Source$line.maildir $Destination$line
#If they exist mv trash, send and draft to .INBOX.XXXX
echo "--If exist then, mv trash send and draft to .INBOX.XXX in $Destination$line" if [ -d $Destination$line/.maildir/.Drafts ]; then mv $Destination$line/.maildir/.Drafts $Destination$line/.maildir/.INBOX.Drafts fi if [ -d $Destination$line/.maildir/.Trash ]; then mv $Destination$line/.maildir/.Trash $Destination$line/.maildir/.INBOX.Trash fi if [ -d $Destination$line/.maildir/.Sent ]; then mv $Destination$line/.maildir/.Sent $Destination$line/.maildir/.INBOX.Sent fi
# Change the file right to the new system incl hidden files
echo "--Changes owner to vmail:vmail on $Destination$line recursive" chown -R vmail:vmail $Destination$line $Destination$line.*
# Run converter script if et reports an error we stop the whole script echo "--Calling courier-dovecot-migrate.pl" /home/weiser/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --to-dovecot --convert $Destination$line.maildir current=$? if [ $current -ne "0" ]; then echo "$current" exit fi
# move data from .maildir to ..
echo "--Moving data from ./.maildir to ."
mv $Destination$line.maildir/* $Destination$line
mv $Destination$line.maildir/.* $Destination$line
# remove old unused .maildir
echo "--Remove old courierfiles and folder and .maildir"
rmdir $Destination$line.maildir
/usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name courierimapsubscribed -exec rm {} \; /usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name courierimapuiddb -exec rm {} \; /usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name courierpop3dsizelist -exec rm {} \; /usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name courierimapacl -exec rm {} \; /usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name courierimapkeywords -exec rm -f -R {} \; i=$(( i + 1 )) else echo "$Source$line.maildir folder not found" fi done; echo "$i mailbox mirgrated"
it needs to external files to work:
mailboxs.txt, which have a path to each mail folder: domain1/user1/ domain1/user2/ domain2/user1/
and the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl which you can find more information about here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier
good luck.
