I used the following command:
~$ rsync -avz ~/mail/domainname.com/username/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/spider/mail/domainname.com/username/

The user is the same on both machines, and all files are
username:username on both. The account is a jailshell if it matters. The
following is what I get from a listing in the directory:
~/mail/domainname.com/username/$ ls -a
./ .Sent/ .mailboxlist courierimapkeywords/
courierimapuiddb maildirsize tmp/
../ .Trash/ courierimaphieracl/ courierimapsubscribed cur/
new/
which shows that not all folders are hidden here. But they are same as
on the old machine which shows mail normally.
Thanks,
KS
