    I need to migrate about 100+ user from an existing linux based courier mail system to my new Mac mail server. So far I have had no luck translating maildirs to the Mac.

    Does anyone have any experience or ideas on this subject?

    Thanks,
    Josh

    Sweet! That was SO close to working!

    I am seeing the following errors. Maybe you can shed some light?

    dst>: bAPP APPEND “INBOX/CourierMail” (\Seen) “01-Apr-2005 15:46:53 -0800” {1469}
    dst<: bAPP NO Invalid mailbox name

    *** Destination: expected ‘+’, got: bAPP NO Invalid mailbox name

    Does cyrus use the INBOX prefix?

    Thanks!

    Excellent! That one is fixed. Now I am seeing I/O errors on the destination server:

    dst>: bAPP APPEND “INBOX/CourierMail” (\Seen) “01-Apr-2005 15:46:53 -0800” {1469}
    dst<: + go ahead

    dst<: bAPP NO System I/O error

    *** Destination: bAPP NO System I/O error
    src<: a0 OK FETCH completed.

    Mailbox “INBOX.CourierMail” copying was stopped due to an error

    Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

    Cool! I got it figured out! Had a permission problem with the mail partition.

    Copying mail from old server to new server now!

    Thanks again!

    I also found another similar tool written in perl making it a bit more ‘tweakable’ called imapsync.

    Thanks again!
