impasync doesn't preserve IMAP state if Dovecot is the destination server. You should use dsync instead.

In which configuration file should I do this ? The same for this option dsync_features = empty-header-workaroundwhere is it supposed to be configured ? My most important case is quite "simple": the mailboxes (there are 2 or 3) I want to migrate don't exist on my machine, so there is no such problems as merge existing mails. Will this migration use imap and retrieve the content of the mails ? Will it use port 143 or 993 ? I'll use the backup option I have another case which there are mails on both servers. So I would like to keep existing mails on my machine. I'll use the sync -1 option ? Thank you >-- Best regards, Adrian Minta
