Hi all. I've just installed dovecot v2.1 in a multihomed, multiinstance setup, It took me two days to convert the old v1.1 configs, now everything works like charm! But. :)

I have several maildir mailboxes, I decided to use the sdbox storage type instead.

I ran into difficoulties using the dsync util.

My virtual users are in an OpenLDAP DB on a differnet machine, and I do not have access to the database (I can authenticate the users from ldap, but cannot change or see anything)

So it's not easy to do an "online" conversion and follow the instructions at dsync's wiki. Do you know a way how to simply tell dsync or a similar util the following

dsync convert maildir:/data/vmail/domain/user sdbox:/newdata/vmail/domain/user

without touching the ldap database, only the files on the disk. I can run this command as root on this mail server, if it is needed, I can run the command for each and every maildir. That's not a problem.

any ideas, how this wouléd be the simpliest?
