it would be possible to reconstruct the message mapping from message-ids (which is what offlineimap does, iirc), but that would be a non-trivial additional feature on top of the core functionality, and is not going to happen anytime soon. the only reasonable way to migrate is to ensure that offlineimap synced all relevant mail to the server, delete the local maildirs, and start from scratch. the error message you got is kinda non-obvious, though. it suggests that your maildirs already had a UID scheme similar to mbsync's, which, depending on how it came to be, could become a problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
