Thanks for your reply.

Please could explain to you mean that the client has not subscribed to the mailbox? my doubt is because in another version of Courier-Imap when creating folders via webmail file courierimapsubscribed is created automatically .

Thanks

Dear friends,

My intention is to migrate from Courier-Imap Dovecot 4.4.1 to 1.1.16, the problem is that I've noticed that when creating folders using the Courier does not create the file courierimapsubscribed therefore I doubt if this will bring me problems trying to perform the migration script by courier-dovecot-migrate.pl

If there is no courierimapsubscribed file, it means the user's client hasn't subscribed to any mailboxes and there's no need to create Dovecot's subscriptions file either. So there is no problem.

I have installed Dovecot 1.1.16 attempt to migrate through the script courier-dovecot-migrate.pl and does nothing to change when I use courier-dovecot-migrate-1.0.pl if it works, there is a problem if I use this script?

A doubt, at some point someone has had to revert back to Courier? in any case I wonder if there is any script that enables the conversion of the Courier to Dovecot in case of any problem.

Thanks

Jose Luis

Mailbox subscriptions are kind of like bookmarks. It's not necessary to use them. Some clients use them, some don't. The subscriptions are managed using SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE IMAP commands. IMAP servers never automatically subscribe or unsubscribe to any mailboxes.

I doubt that Courier version had anything to do with it. More likely just that webmail subscribed automatically to created mailboxes. It may even be some webmail setting that is different.

I have a consultation before making my migration process from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot.

I have installed Courier-Imap 4.4.1 and I will do the migration to Dovecot 1.1.16, my query is that script I use courier-dovecot-migrate.pl or courier-dovecot-migrate-1.0.pl? considering that only work with IMAP

-1.0.pl is meant only for migrating to Dovecot v1.0.

Dear Timo,

Another query, the script courier-dovecot-migrate.pl works properly when used alone IMAP?

It should, but I've recently done some modifications so would be a good idea to check that the generated dovecot-uidlist files look correct (have the same files listed as in courierimapuiddb).

Dear Timo,

Yes.
