Thank you, Michael. Do you know how to run mailutil in a script? I tried it. But I could not find how to submit a user's password to it.

Greetings.

We are in the process of migrating from uw-imap to cyrus. I could not find any tool to migrate message flags(answered, deleted, flagged, draft, seen). I know that the first 4 flags are saved in cyrus.index file and the seen one is in <userid>.seen file. The "tagged for deletion" flag is very important to us and I need to migrate at least this one. I wonder if anybody can give me a hand.

Thanks

The best way to perserve the flags is by transfering the eMails over the IMAP-Protocol. There are severel tools to do this job. Most of them are written to sync two ore more mailfolders.

As far as i have tested them there was no perfect ore even best migration tool.

We will use the mailutil programm which comes with the uw-imap server. It was the fastest programm and it keeps the flags.
