[BlueOnyx:21612] Re: Question IMAP migration maildir/mbox - suggestions?

[Dirk Estenfeld]

Hello,

there are some more changes necessary to go from mbox to maildir.

Also the /etc/procmailrc need some changes from 

ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL

To

ORGMAIL=${HOME}/Maildir/INBOX/MailDiR/
DEFAULT=${ORGMAIL}

And for the function to send Spammails to a separate folder it could be the following changes:

Create folder in userdir
mkdir Maildir/caughtspam
mkdir Maildir/caughtspam/MailDiR
mkdir Maildir/caughtspam/MailDiR/new
mkdir Maildir/caughtspam/MailDiR/cur
mkdir Maildir/caughtspam/MailDiR/tmp
chown -R <user>:<site> Maildir/caughtspam

change user local .procmailrc to

SHELL=/bin/sh
DELIVER="/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $LOGNAME"

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
| $DELIVER -m caughtspam


Best regards,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

I do have a conversion script somewhere that turns mbox to maildir and
vice versa. Yeah, maildir could be made the new standard, but that will
cause a certain issue with CMU that I'd need to address in that case.
I'd need to look into that, but it's a possibility.
