Hi list,
currently I use dovecot v1.2.15 with maildir++ mailboxes. (Debian
Squeeze)
I want to set up a different server with dovecot v2, also maildir++
mailboxes. (also Debian Squeeze)
What is the best way to copy the existing mailboxes from the older
machine running dovecot v1.2.15 to the new naked machine?
Greetz, Tobias
I did the same thing, with no know issues so far.
My old server was running dovecot 1.2.x and i coppied the whole maildir
structure to the other machine.
Then started Dovecot 2.x and all was fine.
Should be the same as instlling 2.0 over the old 1.2.x version, then it
uses the old maildir also.
Well test it i would say.
Just do the copy, and try if everything works.
then do it for a final migration.

Yes.
So long as you're using same file structure, just tar + compress your
Maildir hierarchy + scp it to your new machine + untar/uncompress...
You'll be good to go.
