Greetings. I have a bunch of mbox files that I want to import to an
existing user, each into a new mailbox. That is, I want to import
the file project1.mbox to user Foo, into a newly-created mailbox
called "Project 1". Is there a dovecot tool to do this on the
server?
do you have access to the file system of the mail storage? Can you
call doveadm on the server? What mail storage do you use now,
Maildir, mbox, ... ?
Sorry for being unclear earlier. Yes, yes, mbox.
copy project1.mbox to '/path/to/user/mail/storage/Project 1.mbox' and
make sure, the user has file system rights to access the file at all.
Maybe, you need to add the new mailbox to the user's subscription
file, in order to have it show up.
After a week, I'm at this again. Now having read up on doveadm, I am
trying the following:
sudo doveadm import -u Foo mbox:/home/phoffman/project1.mbox "Project
1" all
However, that gets the result:
Initializing mail storage from mail_location parameter failed: mbox:
mbox root directory can't be a file
Which bit am I missing here?
