moving only new mails from one server to another
Hello,
I think it is not really the right place to post about that, but lot of dovecot experts there ;)
Basically, I have a server with dovecot 2.2.9 that has new (unread) mails (because of a bad DNS config at a migration time).
Is there an easy way to move only these unread mails to a another server ? (no perms trouble here : all vmail:vmail)
Though to iterate through all /var/vmail/*/*/Maildir/new and scp/rsync them.
Would that work ?
Thanks in advance for your time.

TMPFILE=$(mktemp)
cd /
tar cf "${TMPFILE}"
./var/vmail/*/Maildir/new/1*
./var/vmail/*/Maildir/.*/new/1*
scp -p "${TMPFILE}" remoteserver:/tmp/
Login to remote server:
cd / tar xf /tmp/NAME_OF_TAR_FILE
