Hi, I don't think dsync works between 1.x and 2.x.
I have migrated a few of my clients exchange servers to my dovecot servers and I always find LARCH https://github.com/rgrove/larch works really well.

I hate to bug anyone about this again, but I'm really unsure of how best to proceed.
If someone could point me in a good direction - a web-link or link to a relevant listserv thread - I'd really appreciate it.
Some additional searches have given me _some_ new ideas.
- I've seen about dsync - but it appears that would only help between two v2.x Postfix machines, correct? [Or will it pull from 1.x to 2.x without an issue?]
TIA
