We have a client with about 500 accounts spread across 3 server. These were office servers setup some time ago at the three different locations, running various different versions. On server one, their user accounts are sjo_username (sjo being the city prefix). On server two, their user accounts are sfo_username (sfo being the city prefix). On server three, their user accounts are username@xxxxxxxxxx Server three is the destination for servers one and two. All users now have usernames of username@xxxxxxxxxxx We can directly map prefix_username to their new username@domain syntax without any problem We would like to migrate all of the user accounts to the single server. The server will be running cyrus-imapd.x86_64 v 2.3.14-1 (I just compiled it this week) on CentOS 5.3 (waiting to deploy still): New server is currently running: name : Cyrus IMAPD version : v2.3.12p2-Fedora-RPM-2.3.12p2-3.HS 2008/04/24 16:09:27 vendor : Project Cyrus support-url: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu os : Linux os-version : 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5xen environment: Built w/Cyrus SASL 2.1.22 Running w/Cyrus SASL 2.1.22 Built w/Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.29: (January 7, 2007) Running w/Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.29: (January 7, 2007) Built w/OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 Running w/OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 CMU Sieve 2.3 TCP Wrappers NET-SNMP mmap = shared lock = fcntl nonblock = fcntl idle = poll Old servers are running: name : Cyrus IMAPD version : v2.2.12-rPath-Linux-2.2.12 2005/02/14 16:43:51 vendor : Project Cyrus support-url: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus os : Linux os-version : 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen environment: Built w/Cyrus SASL 2.1.22 Running w/Cyrus SASL 2.1.22 Built w/Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.28: (October 23, 2005) Running w/Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.28: (October 23, 2005) Built w/OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005 Running w/OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005 CMU Sieve 2.2 DRAC TCP Wrappers mmap = shared lock = fcntl nonblock = fcntl auth = unix idle = poll I can place these machines side by side to migrate the email. Question is, what's the best way to migrate the email while retaining the message flags and siege settings? In the past I have tried replication but I have failed to get it working on the RPath distro and I don't really have time to troubleshoot the build problems on RPath. I can however, setup an entirely new xen instance running CentOS 5.3 server and copy over the mailboxes to the new instance so at least they are on the save version. Any suggestions on how to do this. I'm attempted other ways in the past, but it's time to actually get it done and over with.
