As I had a REALLY hard time finding ANY help whatsoever ( scripts etc ), I wrote some of my own. I must say, they DO take time. I was running them on a Sun Fire 880 with 4x900MHz CPUs and 8GB RAM, and all files local. It takes around 8-10 hours per 2500 users with around 20GB of data total. So for 1 users with around 80GB of data, up to 40 hours of conversion time is a fairly close estimate. I am sure that the scripts are not completely bug-free, but they did work for me. BEWARE: usernames with dots in them are NOT very well handled. Share and enjoy. -tosi

I converted 2300 users with 80G of mail over the course of 3 days, using a proxy solution. The accounts were moved over one at a time, with mail delivery held up and imap/pop login blocked while each account was moved. The proxies were a hacked perdition (to keep track of sessions so they could be killed and to treat a servername beginning with ! as a reject message to show to the client attempting to login) and a custom perl delivery agent which consulted the same database used by perdition and connected via LMTP (to procmail on the UW-IMAP side) to the two hosts. Based on the tests I had done (same V880 configuration on both old and new servers) it would have taken over 60 hours to convert everyone at once (using a hacked mboxcvt and a bunch of custom perl scripts), and that amount of downtime was unacceptable. That was also putting /var/imap on a tmpfs filesystem and striping /cyrus across 14 FC-connected drives. -- John A.

Re: UW to Cyrus transition
Hi, Thanks for sharing this, that's really neat from you ! Can you maybe in a few words explain us the login and how your scripts works ? Also what is required (external tools if any) to get it to work ?
