Hello Javier,

The hostname is intact since all pop/imap are being routed through a 
proxy. The problem is that using imapsync, for message migration, the 
uilds don't stay intact. I was hoping someone would know a tool, similar 
to imapsync, that would provide such a functionality. Alternately i can 
always scp/tar the messages from one server to the other, but for 
migration implementation reasons i would prefer imapsync, or the like.

Regards,

Hugo Monteiro.
