Hi All,

I'd like to ask about the best practice for moving a user's Maildir from one host to another.

I moved a few user's home directories, and therefore their ~/Maildir folders. They have complained that since the move, they don't see all the messages in their INBOX for a while, but eventually they all appear again. They are using Thunderbird.

I tried deleting the index files but it didn't help.

Can anyone give advice? I have a soft link pointing from the old home directory to the new one, and both paths were on NFS. I can't see how dovecot could give different results, could it be related to message UID numbers?

I did notice that when I moved my own home directory, Mail.app re-downloaded every mail when I opened each folder. Thunderbird doesn't seem to do this, perhaps its related.

Thanks.

Darrin
