Hi all,
I use Claws-Mail to look inside my local (same metal) Dovecot server.
All incoming mail is dumped into Dovecot folders via procmail.
All of a sudden today, mass purges of "marked for delete" happen about
5 times faster. The process used to be a significant productivity
destroyer, but now
Mail, which is
very fast, create two accounts: One for the old IMAP, one for the new
one, and just copy trees.

Thank you for such great software.

ther parts of this thread you ask how to separate backups from
different accounts from different computers. As far as accounts, I
think that Maildir directory structures would take care of that. As far
as different machines, just put the hostname at the front of each

If both of those are possible, although we could still argue which

each of us can have our own way w
