[Dovecot] migrating from cyrus
Hi all,
I want to migrate our customers mailserver (400 mail accounts), from cyrus-2.0.16 to Dovecot. Anyone an idea how I can preserve the read/unread status and what can I do with the UIDL? (cyrus used a different algorithm for UIDL).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Jens Gutzeit

Well, I just saw Cyrus 1.6 -> Courier converter. See if it works with 2.0:

It doesn't seem to preserve UIDs directly, but it shouldn't be too difficult to fix to do that.
And what do you mean about UIDL? POP3 UIDs? Cyrus 2.1 seems to use the same algorithm than Dovecot (uidvalidity.uid), except if pop3_new_uidl isn't set it uses just uid which I think isn't a good idea to keep using.

Here's an updated version which support Cyrus 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2. It also writes dovecot-uidlist file.

hi all,
just browsing freshmeat: cyrus2courier 1.1 by mad - Tuesday, July 1st 2003 11:56 PDT
About: cyrus2courier is a little hack to convert a single mailbox from the format used by Cyrus-Imap into the Maildir++ format used by the Courier-Imap IMAP server.
Changes: This release includes some 64bit fixes, code to preserve UIDs, support for Cyrus-Imap 2.0/2.1, hashed Cyrus-Imap subscribe/quota directories, and support for Dovecot-compatible output.

dunno if he just include the fixes from timo.
darix :)
