Hi All,

We are running cyrus-imap 2.2.8 and sasl 2.1.15. We have two RHEL 3 servers with about 4800 users split between them.

I am looking to migrate the users to 2 new RHEL3 hosts with the same cyrus-imap and sasl versions. I added the allowusermoves to imapd.conf restarted cyrus and tried to do a test move.


host1.domain.com> xfer user/ host2.domain.com
xfermailbox: Mailbox does not exist


Both cyrus-imap and cyrus-sasl where compiled with --enable-murder (least that is what my notes say is there a way to verify?), but it looks like murder has not been set up with a master or imapd.conf file changes.

Question, Is it possible to xfer a mailbox without configuring murder?

Yes and no. You don't need mupdate, but the backends need to know how to authenticate to each other. Look at install-murder.html and take a look at the stuff regarding authentication. Also note that you can't XFER the entire user/ hierarchy with one command, you have to do it one user at a time. Assuming that you're using unixhierachysep, you would do:

xfer user/vbperry host2
