[Dovecot] popa3d migration
Hello,
I'm sure there is no good answer to my question, but it doesn't take much to ask, so I will.
I am about to migrate my current Dovecot IMAP + Popa3d mailbox server to Maildir. I need to keep both protocols (IMAP and POP3) and will be switching to Dovecot on both.
The question is simple - is there any way to keep POP3 UIDs through migration, so people won't get duplicates in their inboxes.
Second question is not that important but if somebody has a good answer it will be really nice - is there any way to keep IMAP UIDs? With IMAP it won't create dups, but loosing (changing) UIDs will create extra load on the server.
I know, this is more about mailbox->Maildir conversion, not dovecot, but this is the only place I can ask this question
P.S. am running dovecot on linux FC5 right now, but will be upgrading to FC6 / dovecot 1.0 release at the time of migration. Won't do it before 1.0 final comes out
Thank you,
FiL

Dovecot can't generate popa3d compatible UIDs right now, but here is patch: ftp://ftp.ufanet.ru/pub/boco/dovecot/popa3d-uidl-patch/ which claims to do exactly that. I didn't tested this patch myself, so YMMV.
