Hey all, I've got a quick question about how sup handles Maildir. I'm going to be migrating to a new machine soon, and I've got a couple of questions about it.
1. My mail is spread out in hundreds of Maildir directories, most of them "legacy" directories that I want to merge as I migrate. Can I do this by just copying the mail files from the various "new" and "cur" directories to a central "cur" directory? I know that Maildir uses unique names, so this shouldn't clobber any messages, but I haven't seen any information on whether this could cause other kinds of problems. 2. A more sup-related question: what things do I need to copy to migrate my labels, read/archived/starred status information, etc? I definitely want to maintain as much of my mail's metadata as I can. I guess this probably interacts with the previous question, too; in the end, I would much prefer to keep my metadata than to merge Maildir directories if they are mutually exclusive. 3. I'm assuming I won't lose anything if I update sup. I think this topic deserves a wiki page, so I'll write up a summary of any advice I get as well as how my experience goes for future posterity. Thanks! ~d _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
