To be clear, here is my scenario; I have 8000 user accounts, 40+Gigs of email on a 2.1.17 server. They all seem to be using .seen files stored in /var/lib/imap/user/u/user.seen files. The mailspool is in /var/spool/imap/u/user/user If I copy the contents of /var/lib/imap/user/[a-z]/* and /var/spool/imap/[a-z]/* to a new server, create accounts beforehand on the new server, then reconstruct -r -f each account, on a 2.3.16 installation this works. I continue to read the .seen files as I am learning that this mecanism was still present in 2.3.x If I do this on a 2.4.13 server, however, the seen data is lost. Perhaps I have to upgrade to 2.3 first and then to 2.4? Ron |
