migrating mailboxes by copying files?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

since imapsync sessions take to long for our several thousand mailbox setup (although it's still running in the background while I'm writing this) I'm asking myself, if there isn't another way to migrate the messages.

Maildir does store each message in a separate file and same does cyrus. The accounts in cyrus are all created. Couldn't I just copy all messages from a Maildir to the according cyrus-folder and run a rebuild-tool for the mailbox after I moved and renamed the message-files? Which scheme does the numbering of the files follow in cyrus? Is it always increasing (1., 2., 3., and so on)? If there is such a tool, what is the name and how can I use it? I guess cyrus is rebuilding the cyrus.* files and updating the quota-usage?

Regards
Marten
