Did you checked / compared file sizes in the mailboxes - i.e. of single mails and cyrus.* files? Possibly this is file system related (i.e. max number of inodes or block size etc.) under the FeeBSD system (which filesystem do you use)? imapsync works well, if i.e. authenticated by a cyrus admin user (for all accounts) in a single transfer. if you faced to problems with timestamps of emails in mailclients, you may hace to use "--addheader" to regeneate the timestamps from the mails during tansfer. But before you start to migrate mailbox contents you have to migrate the cyrus databases - i.e. mailboxlist, quotas.db etc.) - this usually means exporting / importing mailboxlist, quotas etc. from the regarding database files from cyrus. see i.e.: https://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.7/internal/database-formats.php rsync is difficult as the cyus.* files in the mailboxes may be binary or API incompatible and the cyus partitioning / storage directoy layout has to be the same on the new system. Even filesystem diferences aspects could make trouble. If you have sieve, you have to sync the sieve pool by i.e. rsync, but have to make shure the diectoy layout is the same and "refresh" the sieve pool then. > I then restarted the process and used rsync natively with --hard-links > in order to see if that reduced the disc space.

You have to migrate your quotas (quotas.db) before you start to sync mailbox contents. hth a bit, good luck, Niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet http://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc --- ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
