I'm returning to qmail and dovecot after having suffered a complete failure with a different mail system and I'm now trying to figure out the easiest way to recover our messages from the failed system.

The messages are stored as RFC822 in individual files and I can easily identify which message belongs to whom. I have qmail and dovecot configured to use Maildir format.

I know I can probably write a script that resends the messages... but in addition to adding another layer of transport headers I really don't want, it's going to be way slow unless I disable my current content filters.

I'm new to dovecot and what's got me hung up are the indexes that dovecot maintains in each user's directory. Otherwise, I'd probably try copying the messages into Maildir/cur just to see if it worked.

I could sure use some ideas about an efficient, reliable means of getting our old messages back.

Thanks.
