Title: IMAPcopy
Post by: Derek on August 26, 2003, 09:18:16 PM

Hi,

Just thought I'd pass along a very useful utility I found. The server at my site is SME 5.1.2 and has been dragged through many upgrades and customizations. I've decided to do a clean install of 6.0 and move user data over. The biggest stumbling block has been email. My server has the IMAP root folder customization for Outlook Express compatibilty and my users have tons of IMAP folders. Using rsync to migrate the folders to the new server just creates a big mess. This IMAPcopy utility did the trick. Very simple script. Set the source and destination servers and enter a list of users/passwords and run the script. It works perfectly in my test environment.

Hope it proves useful for someone else.

Cool!  That was one of my biggest concerns with upgrading to 6 (once it's released), especially since I'm running courier-imap on my existing 5.6 server.  Looks like a very convenient way to handle this!
