well, rc15 is offered thru debian stable. It runs w/o no errors so
there is no need to update (yet). But yes, if someone knows a repo
with a recent dovecot-package for debian stable.

[Dovecot] Migrate 0.99 MBox into 1.0rc15-2

2007-08-25 Thread Stephan Holl
Hello,

I have old MBOX-trees from a dovecot-0.99-installation. I would like to
integrate them into dovecot 1.0.0rc15 with Maildir.

Sadly the old dovecot is no lonfger running, otherwise imapsync could be
used.

Does anybody can give some hints how to start?

TIA

Stephan

Are you willing to elaborate a bit about your setup, hardware, config,
etc?
This would be good to know what mailsystem is behind that values :-)
