Re: Exporting a mailbox over IMAP.

+1000 for IMAPSync. I was never able to get doveadm sync/backup to work despite a lot of tinkering attempting to do so. Never. I could get imapsync to work in <10m and it works incredibly well.   I can't say enough good things about imapsync (And enough bad things about doveadm sync - I imagine

Following up on my own post - partial potential solution, and additional questions. So, it *looks* like using something like "auth_username_format = %Ln" on the old server dovecot config will fix the problem I outlined below. (I still need to try it, and since it's a production server, I need

doveadm sync different local vs remote account/mailbox name

I'm, trying to sync/backup mailboxes from a current dovecot instance to a new server. But the old server has real system accounts. The new server has virtual users. And the account/user-name is different. Example: Joe Sixpack is joes (on the old system) but is j...@sixpack.org (on the new

The reason there's no pretty complete how-to is because what you're doing seems completely insane to the vast majority of people who'd look at your problem and select your way of approaching solving it. Yeah, you can also host your own website off of a DSL line, using a rasp-pi connected via a

Re: doveadm sync backup from old to new server

I'm no docker guru - so I'm more than a little out of my depth in this case. But clearly ssh is installed, because that's what I'm running, and the sshd allows a connect and I get a return from ls. So, it's working fine outside the container. And I only need to execute doveadm sync inside the

doveadm sync backup from old to new server

So I've done quite a lot of searching on the list and on the web - and perhaps my google-fu is really bad - but I can't find any real recipes on how to sync mail from the old server to the new. As an FYI - the old server is a CPanel/WHM setup on a VPS. The new is mailcow - which uses docker.

Re: Ms Exchange vs dovecot

Rolling your own MTA/Dovecot and groupware isn't a trivial undertaking. But I think one of the best examples of a really well done setup is mailcow. I've recently been tinkering with it, and it does an exceptional job. While it's not really an exchange replacement I'm quite impressed and feel it
