Hi,

You have to know your users passwords, but......
I've implemented web-cyradm solution(users in MySQL+Cyrus+virt. domains) and 
moved users mail and folders this way (from UW-IMAP).
1) I've changed all users passwords in shadow file to one I know.
2) I've changed all users passwords in MySQL to the same one I know, and did 
the syncronisation with imapsync.
3) Restored all passwords back.
Should work fine even with several hundred users.

Note: I've used "crypt" in user passwords so there was no problem to transfer 
DES passwords from shadow file to MySQL.


Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

Thanks, Leon.

It looks to me like either I'd need to know our users' passwords, or have them 
transfer their own mail folders, if I use imapsync.  Is this correct?  Or is 
there a way to use imapsync to transfer our users' mail folders without knowing 
their passwords?  Have you used imapsync to transfer folders for several 
hundred users?
