Hi,
I'm hoping you'll be able to help. I'm working on a project to migrate our users from a courier-imap (4.3.0) based mail server to a dovecot (2.0.8) mail server.
I have got all the users migrated and working. However, I can't see how to migrate the shared folders from courier-imap. I have tried to find extra information all the migration information seems to centre around a user mailbox rather than shared mailboxes.
Is it simply a case of setting up the shared folders on dovecot, then copying the messages in, finally running the dovecot migration script across them?
Did you want per-user flags with shared folders? IIRC Courier used some weird symlink directory for that, which won't work with Dovecot. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes lists all the ways you can currently do shared folders with Dovecot.
