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 think that the fact that it's dropping the . when it is trying to access
the destination folder is the key.
when you add the --prefix INBOX. you may have to quote it to have it keep
the . in the name.
when I get home tonight I'll check the command line I've been useing at
home.

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
