Hi,

The actual filename of the emails doesn't have to be the same, as long as it's rougly the same format. My emails look like:

1106132326.25836_0.tarquin.lan:2,RS

The 'tarquin.lan' bit varies from host to host, depending on which machine put the mail in the maildir. The first portion is always a different sequence of numbers, if I'm not mistaken it's the received date or something. The last portion is some flags like Seen, Replied, etc... So as long as they are similar courier-imap will understand them.

HTH,
Chris

Hi,

I followed a virtual mail server howto in the forums, fetchmail - procmail - courier -imap - postfix - squirrelmail and it works perfect.
The only question i have is, i'm gathering mail for years with sylpheed-claws in a maildir, it are several thousend of mails in sub dirs. How do i get them into the new mailserver, the server has also a .maildir but the filename of the emails are different.

TIA
Patrick
