I would try to create a private namespace "oldmail" http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces with an imapc proxy http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapcProxy I didn't test it, but configuration could look like this: imapc_host = oldmailserver namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = oldmail/ location = imapc: inbox = no hidden = no list = yes } Regards Daniel -- https://plus.google.com/103021802792276734820
