[Dovecot] Dsync converting dbox->Maildir
Hi!
I've changed my mailbox format from dbox to Maildir. The problem is maildir message filename extension has no S=/W= field after migration. Using dovecot 2.1.15.

How did you change it? dsync is the only tool that can properly do it, and it definitely adds the S/W fields.
Anyway, Dovecot can handle maildir files without S/W files anyway. But if you really want to add them, use http://dovecot.org/tools/maildir-size-fix.pl with -a parameter. It adds only S though, no W support yet.
I used dsync mirror: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat AFAIK without S field there is big overhead with quota recalculation.

Ah, right. dsync preserves the dbox GUIDs by storing them into filenames instead. Anyway, if you use dict-file quota backend there's no slowness (but yes, with maildir quota backend is).
