Re: [Dovecot] Converting mbox to Maildir, all prior read messages are downloaded as new
Can you elaborate on this convert plugin? I have not heard of it and am curious if it is available in 0.99.
Thank you!

I am running dovecot 0.99. Everything works great; however, now I am looking at several different tools to convert mbox to Maildir. It seems the tools, mb2md.pl, perfect_maildir.pl, and others all do what they claim; however, when the messages are converted and they are stored in Maildir/cur, the email clients download these messages as new.
Like you, I played with all the available scripts. Settled on using ONLY Dovecot's convert plugin to convert a uw-imap mbox system to Dovecot maildir. Believe it or not, it ran 100% perfectly and users never even noticed the switch!
Good luck. B. Bodger New York, NY

No, it isn't. Being a recent convert to 1.0.0, I would recommend you upgrade to the 1.0.0 stable. 0.99 is at least 4 years old, and the program has gotten much faster and more reliable. And it functions a lot better with Outlook and Outlook Express if you have Windows users!
