Thanks for the tip, I will have a try at it hopefully this week-end, and
let you know in case it doesn't work well.

Regards
Marc

Try the 'mboxcvt' tool in the imap-utils package
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap-utils.tar.Z

I've used it to take archives of large mailing lists/newsgroups (in mbox
format) and feed them into a mailbox on my Cyrus server.

I also believe that these tools might be deprecated and replaced by the
more general 'mailutil' in the UW IMAP distro.

Converting from BSD mailbox format to Cyrus v2 format

2002-11-07 Thread marc . bigler
Hello,

I will need to migrate a few users which were on an old OpenBSD mail server
using the original BSD mailbox format to the new Cyrus v2.1.9 mailstore
format. I've already read the book Managing IMAP but unfortunately their
scripts are for Cyrus v1.5 which was a bit different from Cyrus v2 because
it's now using Berkley DB.

So does anyone have any tips or tools on how to convert BSD mailboxes to
the new Cyrus v2 mailstore ?

Many thanks

Regards
Marc
