Subject:[courier-users] Re: [Courier-imap] Migrating courier-imap postboxes to a new serverActions...

Sam Varshavchik scribbled something like:

I copied the mailboxes to the new server using rsync (after that I only changed the UID/GID of the files). If a user is fetching mail via pop3 and leaves the messages on the server, ALL messages (even those which are in the cur directory of the Maildir) get again delivered to the client (vie pop3) after the transfer to the new server.

This is saved in the courierpop3dsizelist file, which should've been copied.

You should be copying everything in the Maildir directory, not just the message files themselves in new and cur.

If maybe he is coming from an older version of courier-imap, then those files didn¹t exist. That was the case for me when upgrading from courier 39 to 50... Those files didn¹t exist, and such all clients who left mails on the server after POP, had to get them all again after the switch.

Its a one time shot, as I gathered from the UPGRADING documentation, and shouldn¹t happen again unless you delete those special new files.
