Hi Again:
I'm about to take the plunge to MIX (from unix mailstore) with
our UW-IMAP server. I want this to be as seamless as possible for
our users. There are two ways I can do this:
1.) Run mixcvt on everyone's (or a selected subset) INBOX
2.) Run mailutil create -u username ~username/INBOX (I have
recompiled imap-2007d with CREATEPROTO=mix) and let the users snarf
up the messages next time they check mail
I've done both on a couple of different vanilla accounts and each
seems to work well. It seems that #2 would be easiest on me since if
I did #1 I would need to somehow lock the user out of his Inbox while
doing the conversion and deleting the old inbox afterwards.
As to folders, I was thinking of something like:
go to a user's home directory
read the .mailboxlist file
foreach line, call mixcvt to write to a temp mailstore
delete the old foldername
rename the new mailstore to the old folder name
Does that sound reasonable? Thanks...
