Ok, any good ideas how to migrate many IMAP accounts from one server to
another (from Imail to courier)
the account part is easy enought, but how do i get theire mail folders
transferd in an easy way ?
i have been looking into fetchmail but i dont think this alone will do
the job ?
I did the very same (Imail -> Courier) and used mb2md.pl
(http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/) for converting the
mailboxes and a home grown script to traverse the user dirs, change some
unwanted folder names and so on. This second script was a quick hack so
it isn't documented at all :( It assumes that you already have all
accounts on the courier box, that the new home dirs of the users are in
/home and that the Imail-mboxes are mounted at /mnt/smb.
I recommend that you mount the Imail-share read-only and do tests runs
with the scripts.
You might have to tweak it a bit to your needs...
Cheers,
Juri
