Hi,
There are quite a few references on the net on migrating from sendmail
to qmail. However, we’ve now had a query to migrate one vpopmail domain
to a hostmonster shared solution. (which is running sendmail)
Of course the client is using IMAP and does not want to lose any mail
during the migration.
Having had minimal to no exposure on sendmail (as we started with qmail
back in the day), how painful would such a migration be ?
Currently I’m assuming I’d only need to create the users on the
hostmonster platform and then move/copy the individual maildir folder’s
/cur contents to sendmail’s . However, early reading states that
sendmail uses a single file for all mail whereas qmail uses individual
files.
Anyone been through this exercise before to possibly advise on some
pointers ?

I certainly haven't. (FWIW, sendmail reminds me of assembler macros!).
There appears to be several imap migration utilities according to
google. One was mentioned here not too long ago, but I don't recall
which it was. Any of these should work regardless of the storage format,
as they work using the imap protocol on both ends of the migration.
