Re: POP3 to CyrusIMAP migration howto ?
Hi, you could use fetchmail to do it, just need to reset all the password from the Old server, and configure the file /etc/fetchmailrc works good!

You need mailsync from http://mailsync.sourceforge.net/ This software present in FreeBSD port collection. I think, you can also find rpm for Linux. Just several steps needed: 1. create cyrus mailboxes (this can be scripted with perl or python. Possible, other languages also have cyrus libraries). 2. write simple config for mailsync. 3. run mailsync with cyrus proxy user account for import mail. 4. switch off your old mail server.

Re: POP3 to CyrusIMAP migration howto ?
Hi, i know too different konzepts of migrating mailservers. They both have pros and cons. 1. split mbox, copy, reconstruct depending on how your POP-server stores the mails, you have to split each mailbox into single files for every e-mail. Then you copy the files to the cyrus folder and run reconstruct. But you will loose the seen status and you may have to change the files depending on the fileformat of the original inbox. 2. use POP/IMAP-Protokoll to copy the e-mails from one server to another. I have only tested this for Imap-Imap transfers, but mailutil (part of the UW-Imap) can handle different types of servers. You must know the passwords, or be able to gain access to the POP/IMAP account Quoting BipinDas [EMAIL PROTECTED]: BipinDas schrieb: Hi All, I would like to migrate my existing POP3 inboxs to newly created Cyrus IMAP mailbox.

Is anybody gone across this requirement. Please give me a right solution. POP3 inboxes are stored locally on each PC. Each user would have to run a client that can move messages from the local inbox to the Cyrus server. You cannot do it for them unless you have some kind of remote access to all the PCs (which might be the case in a controlled corporate environment).
