Finaly,
For many reasons I had many bugs migrating from mbox to cyrus.
Migration using the information found in O'Reillys Managing IMAP worked
greath but did'nt fixed the "Received" date field differently read from
MS Outlook.
imapmigrate (from cyrus-tools) with the modifications from Scot W.
Hetzel was looking good, realy good.
It worked.
Downloaded it, installed it, installed the MAIL::IMAPClient.deb for
woody 3.0 (to have both) copied them IMAPClient.pm-woody, ...
edited imapmigrate to fit my system,
$debug = 1;
my $copyEmptyFolders = 1;
$usealtnamespace = 1;
$fromhost = "192.168.0.100";
$tohost = "127.0.0.1"; (fastest pc)
$tohostadminuid = "cyrus"
removed everything about LDAP, had too,
kept asking for ldap related stuff even if
$useldap = 0;
(why?
if( $useldap ) {
use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Util qw(ldap_error_text);
}
)
created the user file, ran the script, Bang ! Worked greath !
All the mails and folder from users mail directory was now under INBOX
on the new server. Deleted then recreated the account.
Made the modification from Scot to imapmigrate, ran the script.
All errors about "APPEND". Installed the IMAPClient from Scot, ran the
script, same thing. The error message, :
Read: * 28 FETCH (UID 37 INTERNALDATE " 7-Sep-2001 17:41:58 -0400")
145 OK UID FETCH completed
Sending: 33 APPEND "INBOX" (\Seen) 7-Sep-2001 17:41:58 -0400 {3182}
Sent 60 bytes
Read: 33 BAD Missing required argument to Append command
hours later,
added
next if ($folder =~ /mbox$/ || $folder =~ /\.gz$/ || $folder =~ /\.Z$/
|| $folder =~ /^\./);
from O'Reillys bsd2cyrus script.
Modified,
my $goodchars = "\+,\-.0-9:=\@A-Z_a-z~";
cyrus-1.5.19 in not in love with spaces in folders name. Added this line
when creating folders,
$newfolder = "user\.$user\.$newfolder";
before this one,
unless ($newimap->create($newfolder))
otherwise I got "Permission dedied" from cyrus.
Finaly, I added :
$date = "\"$date\"";
in IMAPClient.pm under "sub append_string". (This last line fixed the
so BAD Append command !) The lines from the cyrus-tools "should" have
worked tought !?
my $string = "$count APPEND $folder " .
( $flags ? "$flags " : "" ) .
( $date ? "$date " : "" ) .
"{" . length($text) . "}\x0d\x0a" ;
Or is this C : "( $date ? "$date " : "" ) ."
Ran the script, everythings ok now ! Outlook sees the "Received" field
like on the old server.
One thing bugs me now, I'd like to see the folders directly under the
server, not under the inbox folder. Don't tell me its another MS
Outlook "feature" !!!
Greath job to all and keep going !
