Thank you for the reply. I did find imapsync whilst perusing Google. I will give it a shot, it sounds more realistic/reliable. I have a hoard of emails going back to 1999, so I want as few errors as possible :)

Hi there,

I was in the same position, but for mutliple accounts. Still you might want to 
look at imapsync (https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync), isync and offlineimap. 
There are more alternatives listed at the imapsync homepage.

I have been attempting to use the cyrus2dovecot script, to no avail.

I have many years of content that I want to convert from Cyrus to Dovecot; with 
the above not working, what are other options out there?  Another idea I had is 
simply set up another IMAP server (using Dovecot) and drag-and-drop and just 
wait, which I may end up doing.

In the above, I copied over my entire /var/imap and /var/spool/imap to another 
system; there is only one account (mine), so calling the script was fairly 
easy; it just doesn't work.


inboxes=the "myaccount" that was copied over

/home/myaccount/cyrus2dovecot --cyrus-inbox /home/myaccount/inboxes/%u     \
                  --cyrus-seen /home/myaccount/varimap/user/%h/%u.seen    \
                  --cyrus-sub /home/varimap/user/%h/%u.sub      \
                  --dovecot-inbox /home/myaccount/dovecot/Maildir \
                  myaccount



the log output complains of:

    cyrus2dovecot [myaccount]: (warning) Index record missing for: INBOX/62020.

and correctly complains about squat indices, as that's not a file it would 
handle.  There is no output into the Maildir, however.

All directory paths are correct.


Thanks.
