David,

I tried various combinations based on your suggestions. The --prefix2 "INBOX." was the most interesting. Instead of userxyz, I ended up with INBOXxyz. Just a variation on the same problem. One thing I did forget to mention. The saslauthd program is pointing to the shadow file at the moment, and none of the folks (ultimately I need to move about 4,500 accounts) are in the shadow file. I have to eventually switch the pointer to LDAP but that requires some other prep that I'm not yet ready for. But could that possibly explain my problem?

I'm working with it to copy some things currently, I'm doing it a user at a time, and found that I needed to set --prefix2 "INBOX." (note the . ) to get things to copy properly. it looks like you may need to set --sep or --sep2 to "." as well.

also, take a look at imapcopy, if you are just doing a one-way move it may be easier to setup (imapsync can keep the two in sync while you are testing)

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate mail from one IMAP server to another using the perl program imapsync. Both the source and destination servers are Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.3 servers. I have added a second partition to the destination server and made it the default by configuring imapd.conf as follows:

partition-default: /var/spool/imap
partition-belgarath: /var/spool/belgarath
defaultpartition: belgarath

With this setup, I can use cyradm and by hand correctly adds users to the new partition. When I use imapsync to copy users over. Instead of folders such as user.xyz and user.xyx.sent and user.xyz.drafts, I get userxyz and userxyzsent and userxyzdrafts -- all as separate and entirely independent folders and not even a hierarchy.

Here's a script I used just to test and move over one user:


#! /bin/bash

./imapsync \
--host1 belgarath.linfield.edu --user1 cyrus --passfile1 /home/rtanner/imapsync/cyrus.pwd \ --host2 polgara.linfield.edu --user2 cyrus --passfile2 /home/rtanner/imapsync/cyrus.pwd \
      --syncinternaldates \
      --subscribe \
      --include "^user\.aabryan.*$"


Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Rob
