[Dovecot] Courier to Dovecot Maildir converstion
Hello,
I am running Dovecot 0.99 on OpenSuse 10.0. Previously, I was running courier IMAP with vpopmail on Suse 9.3. In the process of the change, I decided to sing MySQL to authenticate the users, provide home dir, uid and gid.
I tar'ed up the old mail directories, moved them to the new server, added a new user and group to own the files, set the files uid/gid to match the values in the db. Next, I followed the Migration directions on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration. I can successfully authenticate the new users, have no errors in the log file but when I am logged in I only see the Inbox. There should be other folders as well as mail in the inbox. No errors in the log files.
Any ideas?

can you give some more details? what did you change on in the config? where did you put your maildirs?

I put my Maildirs in the same folders as before /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/<user name>
I used the configs pretty much as they were, I had to modify the dovecot-mysql.conf to have the right socket path, db, db user/pass etc. Other than that...it is pretty much as described in my first messages
