Now trying to manually import some mbox files from the old server into
dovecot. Copied a mbox file to the new system, converted it to Maildir
with mb2md resulting in a directory containing the new, cur en tmp. Looks
ok, old email messages are all there.
When importing this folder using doveadm import it fails with the message:
Copy/move the files in cur and new into the new place, no need for doveadm
import. If there is no target mailbox of that name, copy the whole
.mailbox.sub.sub folder.
well the example I gave was maybe a bit confusing. Moving/copying the
contents of folders works but only for already existing folders.
When I want to import folders that do not yet exist and create them by
copying a .mailbox folder to the users vmail folder it does not show up in my
front end (Horde). From what I learned so far this is because I have to use
the dovecot import tool in order to make dovecot recognize them.
say mb2md creates:
.folder.sub.sub/{cur,new,tmp}
.....
move .folder.sub.sub to
/home/vmail/bezoekerscentrumsonsbeek.nl/techniek/.folder.sub.sub
If they does not show up, probably because they are not subscribed, add
them to Maildir/subscriptions . Sometimes clients cache the folders.
logoff/on again.
