Hello James,
Adam is perfectly fine with me as Becki is also only my nickname ;)
I think I will give imapsync a try. I Was just looking if i can specify
also the port numbers which I actually can according to the docs
https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync
As dovecot and dbmail are already running on the same machine but on
different port numbers
Will play around with it once I find some time and report back how it went.
Thanks for your time & help
Best regards
Becki

Apologies, Becki not adam - one of those days! I misread the email address
'admin' there :)
You could script imapsync to achieve this if you have all the logins, i.e.:-
imapsync --timeout=2 --host1 1.2.3.4 --user1 $userid --password1 '$passwd'
--host2 5.6.7.8 --user2 $userid --password2 '$passwd'
if you do happen to use the export feature be sure to call an index on the
dovecot side.
Kind regards
James Greig

Hi Adam,
The main issue in my instance was that the output file for inbox expected in
dovecot 2.2 with maildir++ and mbox is 'inbox' with sub folders prefixed with a
dot whereas in 2.3 it's '.INBOX'. so a fairly straightforward change could fix
that.
Imapsync is also a fair method really because the dbmail-export method won't
retain inbox flags such as 'marked as read' which customers/users are likely to
notice
Kind regards

Subject: [Dbmail] tools for migration to dovecot
Dear dbmail users,
recently James Greig wrote about a patch he did for dbmail-export to export the
mailboxes into maildir++ format mbox's along with a subscriptions file for
dovecot 2.2.
https://github.com/pjstevns/dbmail/pull/43/commits/4a0909a02b220f3e16fbc66efa03d7554ecde3a5?diff=split&w=1
Sadly my server already runs dovecot version 2.3 so the patch won't work.
Are there any migration tools to export the mailboxes from dbmail to dovecot
2.3.x
Do you have any recommendations?
thanks & greetings
Becki
