I just used imapsync to migrate some accounts from a UW server to Cyrus
IMAP. Things went fairly smoothly, except when encountering parent
directories that contained mboxes:
From Folder mail/archive/reports : Could not select 2314
NO SELECT failed: Can't open mail/archive/reports:
not a selectable mailbox
When checked after migration with cyradm, I get:
localhost> lam user.jorey.archive.reports
Mailbox does not exist
But the subfolders were transferred properly:
localhost> lam user.jorey.archive.reports.mail
jorey lrswipkxtecda
I can fix the parent with cyradm by creating it:
localhost> cm user.jorey.archive.reports
And now it behaves properly in my client, allowing messages to be stored
alongside subfolders.
I have another server to migrate, and would like these subdirectories to
be recreated properly during the process, as there are many more
accounts to move. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?
I couldn't identify an option in the imapsync documentation or any way
to apply this recursively to Cyrus mailboxes after migration. Any tips
are welcome.
