Subject:[courier-users] Conversion ScriptActions...

Hello,

Does anyone have a conversion script that will convert a users inbox (mbox format) and multiple imap folders (also in mbox format) into a proper Maildir with subdirs, courierimapsubscribed, and courierimapuiddb files? Additionally, all read and unread flags should be preserved if possible. I am getting ready to migrate about 200 users with about 10GB of mail files to a new server, and I need to do it as quickly and transparently as possible.

My plan is to stop sendmail on the old server, copy the files to a staging area on the new server as quickly as possible, run a script that will convert all 200 or so users, switch the MX records in the dns, change the mail alias from the old server to the new one, delete the mail files from the old server.

All advice other than "look at the scripts on the qmail site" will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
