Hi all,

Im in the process of moving about 7000 users across from courier to dovecot. Both Maildir setups.

The migration script works a treat, but I need a slight change to it.

Couriers directory structure looks ike this: /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/cur/ /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/new/ /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/tmp/ /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/maildirsize /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/courier* etc..

Dovecot looks like this: /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/Maildir/cur/ /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/Maildir/new/ /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/<username>/Maildir/tmp/

So the issue is, there is an additional Maildir directory in the structure.

Now the migration script works fine, however when the migration is completed, I have to manually add the Maildir directory into the structure, which is going to take a little too long :) Is there something in the script that can add this ? Is there a way to perhaps use the script to add the Maildir part ?

My initial plan was to copy the entire /home/vmail/<domain.com.au>/* across to the dovecot server and run the migration script. However, without the Maildir directory in the structure it won't work.

Has anyone run into this issue ? How did you solve it ?
