Quoting Rob Siemborski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:Have you considered just doing a direct mailbox conversion? You can convert directly to Cyrus mailboxes and then reconstruct everything. That might be faster than dealing with the mbxcvt code.
Do you really have so much data that it would take 2-3 days to move it?The tests I have done so far (using both imap-utils mbxcvt and custom perl code)
it looks like it will take around 60 hours to convert everything (2300 users,
23000 folders, 70G total), and that is putting /var/imap on a tmpfs filesystem
for the conversion (about a 2x speed improvement there) and striping /cyrus
across 14 drives in an FC-AL array.
