I am setting up a new Dovecot server and I want to start from scratch, i.e. with an empty mailbox. But I want to have the same folders in my new mailbox that I have in my old. Is there a way to create these folders without manually creating one by one?
Depending on your storage backend you can pre-create the folders. E.g. if you use Maildir, you create
mkdir .Folder.Subfolder.Subfolder/new mkdir .Folder.Subfolder.Subfolder/cur mkdir .Folder.Subfolder.Subfolder/tmp
touch .Folder.Subfolder.Subfolder/maildirfolder
For current versions of Dovecot, you can use the doveadm tool:
doveadm mailbox create [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-s] mailbox ...
