Hi, Quoting Paul van der Vlis <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Hello, I've used in the past imapsync for mailbox migrations, but sometimes I found problems. For the latest version I have to pay. I can understand it from the view of the developer, maybe I will pay him for the latest version. But I will look for alternatives first, preferable those who are in Debian. I saw some other programs like mailsync and movemail (from the GNU mailutils), and I am interested if there is a good alternative for Imapsync. For me it's also an option to use something like rsync to copy all files of a mailbox from one Cyrus mailserver to another. Is that a good idea? With regards, Paul van der Vlis. http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/mailsync http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/mailutils
Years ago we used mailutils to migrate from UW-IMAPD to cyrus, which
was much faster than imapsync. AFAIR i had to patch mailutils to allow
"-merge append" for the copy option but I can't find the patch anymore.
If you migrate from Cyrus to Cyrus you can use rsync IMHO, you might
have to convert some databases if you change the archietecture or the
installed version of BDB.
If your current version of cyrus is 2.3.x you can also use cyrussync,
which will take care of different archetektures and databese versions.
