Hi, I am currently in the process of migrating approx. 100 GByte of mail from UW IMAP to Cyrus IMAP.
Using the filesystem copy and "reconstruct -r" approach mentioned on the Wiki, I have encountered some strange behavior. When I use imtest(1) to connect to some user mailbox as admin user cyrus, I don't see any mail flags. And in my case, even worse, I cannot set e.g. the \Seen or \Answered flag. But when I connect as a regular user and select a mailbox using the "INBOX." notation, I see all the flags and can also modify them: Session Log: rzlimes2:~/Projects/NewMailServer/trunk/scripts# imtest -m DIGEST-MD5 -u cyrus -a cyrus localhost .... S: A01 OK Success (privacy protection) Authenticated. Security strength factor: 128 001 select user.aw.Trash * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)] * 1643 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 1] * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1091437031] * OK [UIDNEXT 1744] 001 OK [READ-WRITE] Completed 002 fetch 1 flags * 1 FETCH (FLAGS ()) 002 OK Completed 003 logout * BYE LOGOUT received 003 OK Completed Connection closed. rzlimes2:~/Projects/NewMailServer/trunk/scripts# imtest -m LOGIN -u aw -a aw localhost .... S: L01 OK User logged in Authenticated. Security strength factor: 0 001 select INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)] * 9 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 3] * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1091437028] * OK [UIDNEXT 110] 001 OK [READ-WRITE] Completed 002 fetch 1 flags * 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen)) 002 OK Completed 003 logout * BYE LOGOUT received 003 OK Completed Connection closed. ---- How come? Without being able to set user flags as administrator, our migration process will not succeed (user will complain having thousands of NEW emails...) Looking forward to your help... Thanks!
