Hello all,
I'm facing the need to migrate from a proprietary IMAP server to
Dovecot. The migration must be as smooth and transparent as possible.
The mailbox format I would want to use is Maildir++.
The storage format used by the current server is unknown, and I don't
look forward to trying to reverse-engineer it. This leaves me with the
option of reading the mailboxes using IMAP. There are tools like
offlineimap or mbsync, and they do store the UID and UIDVALIDITY info.
The last piece of the puzzle is a process to properly create the
dovecot-uidlist and dovecot-uidvalidity files. So far I wasn't able to
find anything on this. Are there any tips? Are there any tools available
to do this job, or part of it?
In either case I need this done, and I'll have to create whatever I
can't find available. If there isn't anything out there that I'm yet to
become aware of, then I'm looking at creating something like an
offlineimap post-processing routine?
Any help would be much appreciated.
