Re: [Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
I think the problems is around line 436 of http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl as it reads the dot dirs after having read :list in the previous block of code. So, the content of the directories is appended to dovecot- keywords. I know nothing of perl! So I cannot really understand why it is so and how to fix it... (Note that this error happens on BSD systems, that is MacOSX and FreeBSD, I might run it on a Linux virtualbox as a cross test, just in case it is a perl platform quirk). Giuliano

For some reason I managed to have still the old (your version v1.1.8), but now that I have the new (# cpanel12 - maildir-migrate) linked from http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier , I get the same result (with the new --to-dovecot option). I suppose it might come form a broken courierimapkeywords directory? I could send you a simple sample courierimapkeywords that reproduces it. thanks g

Re: [Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
all right, the suffix lowercase letters do correspond to the relevant dovecot-keyword. Problem is, on system where courier-dovecot- migrate.pl has not been applied dovecot-keywords consist of: 0 $NotJunk 1 etc. while on system that have undergone courier-dovecot-migrate.pl the files then continue with what look like extraneous lines: 0 JunkRecorded 1 Junk 2 $NotJunk 3 $Forwarded 4 NotJunk 5 $Junk 6 Redirected 7 Forwarded 8 7p/^...@^l^@^d^...@^@^@\...@^l^@^d^b...@^^\/^...@^p^^e:li...@69p/ ^...@8^-.3908840.1172611369.h459121p73525.[a very long line her...@^@^...@^@^@ 9 \...@^l^@^d^...@^@^@\...@^l^@^d^b...@^@ \...@^t^@^D^K.Newsletter[ ditto ]...@^t^@^D and so on. In this particular case the suffix letters go from a to i, so from 0 to 7, and the keywords 8 onwards are thus bogus, consistently with the content of the file. Ideas? Giuliano

Not all clients use them at all, which is why you may not see them for all users.
Re: [Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
Well, now 1.1.8 on MacOSX (from courier + conversion script run) on a fourth system and I get the name change here too. I will upgrade other systems (where I did not run the conversion script) to 1.1.8 and see if the name change is owed to the dovecot version or having run the script. g
[Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
Sorry if this is a dumb question: I migrated my third system from courier to dovecot. My previous two were MacOSX the third is FreeBSD 6. I noticed (because of an rsync process taking longer than usual...) that on FreeBSD the message files have, most of them at least, gained extra suffix letters (in the range a-h I'd say) that I do not see (mostly if not at all) on my MacOS systems. I wonder if this is because of a different migration process, as in the first two cases I wrongly run courier-dovecot-migrate.pl without the --convert option as I was satisfied that the OK result for all Mailboxes was enough... (no pop here), while on FreeBSD I correctly applied the --convert option. The other difference is the version, 1.1.6 for MacOSX, 1.1.7 for FreeBSD. Cannot find a relevant entryin the ChangeLog. (now running rsync with the --fuzzy option, hopefully it will find the files cutting on transfer times!) Thanks Giuliano
