[Dovecot] Courier-to-Dovecot-migration: Outlook downloads all Mails again
Hi everybody,
I'm currently playing through the migration from Courier to dovecot. I've converted the User's Maildir with 'courier-dovecot-migrate.pl'. Outlook 2003 is configured to access the Mailbox via POP3, the option "Leave a copy of messages on the server" is activated.
But: after the migration Outlook 2000 redownloads all mails again :-(
Could it be, that Outlook 2000 "thinks" (after changing the POP3/SMTP-Server in the Outlook configuration pointing to my testsystem) this is a new system and starts to download the messages again?
If so, Outlook 2000 won't download all messages again if we do the migration because POP3/SMTP-Server remains the same. Can anybody confirm this?
We do not experience this issue with Thunderbird for example.
Thank you, Werner

Hi again,
Found on the dovecot-Website:
"Some clients re-download all mails if you change the hostname in the client configuration. Be aware of this when testing."
Is this also relevant for Outlook 2000 ?
Thanks, Werner
