[Dovecot] [courier-dovecot-migrate.pl] - No such file or directory at courier-dovecot-migrate.pl line 230
Hi all,
I am in the process of migrating my Maildir IMAP server from courier-imap to dovecot. I am now at the point of converting my Maildirs into a format that dovecot understands (as per http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier).
Problem:
#/usr/bin/perl courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --recursive Finding maildirs under . ./courierimapuiddb: OK No such file or directory at courier-dovecot-migrate.pl line 230. #
Can anyone tell me what the problem is here ? And how to deal with it ?
Platform: FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Apr 10 13:47:53 WST 2007.
Cheers!

Not without more details... like, maybe what version of dovecot you are using? Output of 'dovecot -n'?

I disagree... once you send an email to this list, it is no longer your property.
If you want to retain ownership of your email, then you must get an agreement *in writing* from each and every person you send an email to *prior* to sending them email, otherwise your claim of ownership is irrelevant and unenforceable.
If you have received this email in error, you are requested to contact the sender and delete the email.
Ok - I am now officially contacting you and telling you that I have no idea whether or not I received this email in error.
Please send $5,000.00 dollars U.S. to me immediately, and I will delete the email - otherwise, I will forward it to everyone in my email address book.
I *hate* email disclaimers...

Be aware, its now law in the EU to include signatures to buisness mails, after all youre right other disclaimers doesnt make sense by blowing up mails

But isn't the law that the signatures be the info you would find on a company letterhead, not an un-enforcible legalese disclaimer?
I would think the legal signature would be something like ;
"IMPORTANT: This email originated from the Australian Defence Organisation City, Province/State , Australia Telephone Fax Other administrative info Maybe legal incorporation or business numbers"

Hi yes, something like this , is what i meant, i dont wanted to discuss or flame the sense of disclaimers signatures here anyway, my intention was just to make clear that some kind of signatures or/and disclaimers may now be a "must have" in some regions in some cases.

No worries - I figured as much, and should have said that comment wasn't directed at you personally.
<soapbox> I hate PC crap like that... why can't people just be responsible and accountable for their actions? Period. </soapbox>

If you have a policy of this nature, then it is incumbent upon you to post via an address that doesn't add it. It's clearly obvious that the disclaimer is meaningless lawyer-speak in the context of a mailing list post.
The OP should arrange to use another mail posting route such as a webmail address, this sort of thing is poor manners and should be resisted before this crap buries the usefulness of mail in pointless drivel.

While I agree with the sentiment, I'm not sure how practical it is...
Kind of like complaining about top-posting or HTML email... it's there, and it isn't going anywhere. When you let it bother you - it only bothers *you*...

If I see this sort of thing after I've told someone they should not be doing it, they go in the kill file. That's then one more person who won't be helped, and others who won't see useful suggestions if I have them, I only have so much time to help and doing so for someone who can't see the clash between their disclaimer and where they're posting is time I don't have at all.

Easy, to posters and html-only mail goes straight in the bin.....

It pains me to know my countries military is wasting time and money on sub-standard software like Exchange.
However, the fact you're posting to this list gives me hope you're correcting the situation :)

Try running the script under strace (i.e. 'strace -e trace=file perl /script.pl') or truss to watch the perl script and see what "file or directory" it's trying to open. That should provide a quick clue.

I was just testing the migration script, encountered the same issue and just added a print before the open || die at line 230. It tries to open the file Maildir/courierimapkeywords/:list which seems to be missing and probably not mandatory. I'm on Courier-IMAP 4.1.1. The patch below solves this.

Aha, thanks -- I too encountered the problem this weekend (deployed Dovecot server to production, migrated all our users) and noticed it was with the accounts that were either very new or never used; I suspect the assumption that this file is there is based on the account being in active use with Courier.

I solved it a bit differently, uploaded v1.0.1 to http://dovecot.org/tools/
