[BlueOnyx:21581] Re: Question IMAP migration maildir/mbox - suggestions?

[Dirk Estenfeld]

Hello Larry,

oh, unfortunately I did not read you posting. Blind I am ... :( 
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will also try and report.
Do you have some experiences what will happen with still existing mails for different users at the server? Will they become unusable?

Best regards,
Dirk

Dirk,

  Believe (still testing) I have this worked out with the following
chanage to 10-mail.conf (in /etc/dovecot/conf.d):

Original:  mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=mbox
Commented this out and changed to:
New:	mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=MailDiR

The DIRNAME is what got it all working.  It is just a "name" that 
should not ever get used as an actual folder name by the customers.

I am using the imapsync and have several accounts transferred and
appears to be going well.
