Moving mail to a new machine
I previously had my imap server running on one machine that I had set up myself. I had several folders beside my inbox. I recently built a new machine with a new version of Redhat and I've built and installed the latest version of cyrus. I have cyrus running and configured but I'm having a heck of a time getting to my old mail files. What I've done is copy the whole directory tree of my mail files to the directory /var/spool/imap/g/user/gmc. I've gone into cyradm and created a mailbox called user.gmc and set the acl to write. I use mozilla for email and I was able to set it up and I can now see the emails from my old inbox. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get to the email that are in the other folders. They're in directories under the directory stated above. Can anyone help with this bit? Was there an easier way to do this? Gordon

It's possible with version 2.2, you can log in using the default domain that Cyrus is configured for ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or any virtual domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

If you are really migrating from UW, you can use mailutil to do the entier transfer via IMAP, and that will get all of the state correct. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
Re: how to use cyradm in a not-so-interactive way?
Hi
Use the following scripts
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin;
my $client=Cyrus::IMAP::Admin->new('yourhost');
$client->authenticate(-authz=>'',
-user=>'admin',
-password=>'yourpasswordhere',
-mechanism=>'PLAIN');
my $result=$client->createmailbox("$mailbox");

how to use cyradm in a not-so-interactive way?
Hi there!
I am trying to automate some tasks in order to create new mail
accounts... I am using Postfix, Cyrus-IMAP and MySQL.
Maybe there is a quite obvious answer to this question but I have no
idea about Perl...
I would like to find a way to create users in a not-so-interactive way
like introducing directly these commands (for example). To do this I
have to connect to cyradm (e.g.,cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost)
from the terminal and then introduce:
localhost> cm user.test0004
localhost> sam user.test0004 cyrus lrswipcda
localhost> sq user.test0004 2
localhost> quit
In the man page of cyradm it says it can be used in this other way:
perl -MCyrus::IMAP::Shell -e 'run("myscript")'
but, honestly, I can not understand how to do this. What should be the
content of "myscript"? how to connect to cyradm in this case? how to
provide the password?
Any help would be very grateful!
Greetings!
