Hello,
I am trying to migrate users form courier to dovecot 1.2.6.

After using the "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl" script users using pop3
are
re-downloading their old emails as duplicates.
This issue is resolved by replacing :
maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/tmp/QUOTA/index/%u:CONTROL=/tmp/QUOTA/
control/%u
with
maildir:~/Maildir
any idea on the reason of these duplicates or workarounds to prevent
them
while keeping indexes in /tmp.
Thank you.
When you ran courier-dovecot-migrate.pl, did you have it put the
dovecot files in /tmp/QUOTA/index/%u and /tmp/QUOTA/control/%u? In my
experience, the courier migration script wants to output the converted
dovecot files in the same directories as it found the courier files.
If you didn't copy the converted dovecot files to the proper directory
in your /tmp structure, dovecot would have no knowledge of the old POP
messages and would generate new POP UIDLs, causing double messages in
users' clients.
