[Dovecot] Using DSync to convert from maildir to m/sdbox during migration of mail to new server
Ok, now to work out the precise method (config for the target server and dsync command) to use to perform the migration from the old server to the new one, converting to dbox (s or m, depending on how the other thread discussing this turns out).
I'll update the old server to 2.2.10 tomorrow morning so they're both at the same version.
So, assuming both servers are running 2.2.10, with
OldServer: mail_location = maildir:~/:INDEX=MEMORY
and
NewServer: mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox or mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox
After reading and re-reading:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync
I'm not so sure...
First problem - apparently it can only be used one user at a time? And - do you have to actually know the users password too?
If so, then this probably isn't going to be easier, and maybe even harder than just rsyncing everything, then slowly converting each user one at a time.
