We converted from uw-imapd to dovecot but are still having problems with MBX mail folders.
The user can't access this "MBX mail folder":
[root@volt Resume's]# file "Sys Admin" Sys Admin: MBX mail folder [root@volt Resume's]# mailutil copy ./"Sys Admin" '#driver.unix/new' Can't open mailbox ./Sys Admin: no such mailbox [root@volt Resume's]# mailutil copy -debug -verbose./SysAdminSave '#driver.unix/new' Can't open mailbox ./SysAdminSave: no such mailbox
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
I converted all our users now to dovecot using maildir. The migration is done by a quite big script, because we had no standards for the mailfolder The part converting mbx style mailboxes of the script follows here:
In this case, the INBOX file in the homedirectory of the user is converted to mbox and then to maildir
if [ -f /home/$MUSER/INBOX ]; then su - $MUSER -c "mailutil -verbose -debug" copy INBOX fictionmbox su - $MUSER -c "/root/mb2md -s /home/$MUSER/fictionmbox -R -d \ /var/mail/inboxes/$MUSER/" su - $MUSER -c "rm -f fictionmbox" fi
