It doesn't seem like other tools are provided with cyrus-imapd. I took a look on the files in my imap-dir, and it's a mess. Maybe the strategy would be to setup two servers and transfer mail one by one. Anyone got experience with this?

As I recall, the real biggie for this is maintaining the 'seen' state. I think just about anything else can be rebuilt from the mailbox data itself by running a reconstruct. However, on a large mailspool reconstruct will take a while, so dump'n'reload would be preferable. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Are there any tools or tricks for doing this? possibly it's compatible but if you are not sure use dbversion_dump and _load to dump and restore data. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Thanks, I've had a look at the dump and load utilities, they have no man page it's not FreeBSD but GNU. No man is equivalent of read documentation in info or out webpage ;) :( dump works fine, or so I assume.
