Topic: SME5.5 to 5.6 imap folder migration

[Michael Doerner]

I am confused to what is the best way to migrate imap folders after an SME5.5 to 5.6 upgrade?

We use imap folders and procmail intensively and each user has many imap folders. Access to those under SME5.5 was through the (sub)directory "Mail/". Now after the migration to SME 5.6, the existing imap folders are all sitting under a folder Mail/Mail.relocated.
What to do from here? Do I really have to move all folders manually (mc) up one level or do I misunderstand this?
I could not find a document or HowTo for that but I expect many users have done that migration before and must have come across that question. What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

The migration of folder location during a 5.5 to 5.6 upgrade was automatic for most users, with nothing special required. That's probably why you can't find a HOWTO. Your system was customized/non-standard, and that is why it has worked out a little differently.

You'll probably have to work out what you need to do yourself. Sounds to me like moving folders from Mail/Mail.relocated into Mail might be all you need to do.

Thanks Charlie.
Yes, that seems to be the way to go. All working again.
