Hello to all,
the documentation of offlineimap and the FAQ are absolutely worth their
name. Allow me to answer my own question to end this thread.
0.) Do backup.
1.) $ mkdir ~/archives
2.) $ mv ~/Maildir/IMAPnew/INBOX ~/archives
3.) $ mv ~/.offlineimap/Account-IMAPnew/LocalStatus/INBOX
~/archives/LocalStatus-INBOX # [0, read the stuff about sqlite]
4.) $ mv ~/.offlineimap/Repository-IMAPnew/FolderValidity/INBOX
~/archives/FolderValidity-INBOX
5.) Clean the cache $: rm -rf ~/.offlineimap/Account-IMAPnew # [1]
6.) Clean the Maildir $: rm -rf ~/Maildir/IMAPnew
7.) $: mkdir ~/Maildir/IMAPfinal
8.) $: offlineimap
9.) $: rsync --archive --verbose -P ~/Maildir/IMAPold/
~/Maildir/IMAPfinal/ # Pay attention to trailing /] this is a local
merge.
10.) $: offlineimap # this syncs the local merge to the IMAPnew-remote
server.
Lastly, I thank the community and developers for such a great programm
und documentation.
Cheers,
nanooq

Hello to all,
how do I merge two different IMAP accounts of the same e-mail (as in:
I switched hosts and redirected my domain name)?
The difference is that IMAP-account (1) on hoster A stopped getting
new mails by the end of January and a new IMAP-Account (2) was opened
on hoster B on the first of February. They were both managing emails
for the same address, therefore I wonder, how to merge the old one
into the new one.
Without running into an UID validity problem. That's what I get, when
switching .offlineimaprc from one account to the other.
I am looking forward to your answer.
Thank you in advance,
nanooq
