I'm still trying to migrate from Dovecot 1.2.16 to 2.0.7 on FreeBSD. Previous attempts

"clean" the hybrid maildir-dbox situation I used imapsync to copy all mails
from the old account to a new account. I would assume in this case I get a clean
dbox-mailmap. I tried to run dsync on this new map but noticed a lot of mails are not

Hmm. I thought I already answered this. Maybe I got distracted while answering
it and aborted..
Anyway, you need a different way to migrate the hybrid maildir.
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-September/053012.html had some old ideas,
but there is a newer program explained in
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-November/055191.html and the program
itself is slightly updated in
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-November/055192.html. Save the
attachment.bin into dbox-dehybrid.c and compile and run it. Get backups. :)
Hi Timo,
you had indeed answered this; I tried the utility but it did not help.
That's why I tried the imapsync approach in hope that would clean the
messages and create a new dbox-only account. I also ran the utility on
the synced mailboxes and retried dsync but that did not fix it either.
I'm really puzzled to why this is. How can I recognize a hybrid mailbox?
All mailboxes only contain dovecot.index, dovecot.index.log, dbox.index
and u.* files.
