Hello

I plan to migrate my mailhub from 1 to 2 , is it a good idee
to remove all indexes .imap directories from the new server
before starting it in production state ?

Thanks

What mailbox format are you using? I had sdbox in 1.x and had some 
problems with the indexes when moving to 2.x. Even removing them did not 
solve the problem. The solution was to run doveadm force-resync for all 
mailboxes of all users (luckily it's a private server with only a few 
mailboxes and it can easily be scripted) to regenerate the indexes.

[Dovecot] Migration - Dovecot to Dovecot

2010-06-01 Thread Greg Pearson 

Hi,
I am using Dovecot with mbox format, and I am interested to move to 
Maildir. I have run the modified script (mb2md) but it seems UIDs are 
not preserved. I don't know how to verify this, but my client seems to 
be downloading all messages again.


Can someone help?

It will probably do.

 It will probably do.

dsync will be available with Dovecot v2.0.
I'm not sure if the convert plugin
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert preservers the UIDs. Give it a
try, for a single account.
