Hi all,
I need to migrate a cyrus-imap setup from an older server running version
2.2.12 to a new server running 2.3.8. I've dug through the Cyrus wiki, the
install-upgrade.html file, and other resources but I'm still running into a
bit of a problem. I copied the entire /var/spool/imap director
I'm preparing a new iMAP server and have 31GB of user mail on the
current server to move. I'm looking for suggestions on doing the
move with the minimum of down time as possible.
Thank you for your suggestions,
Jose

Did you use the -r switch with reconstruct. It recursively
reconstructs sub-mailboxes.
