Hello,

I am trying to migrate a server with 10K accounts under courier Imapd
to Cyrus. I have got the imapmigrate from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cyrus-utils/, but while I start the
script, it creates only empty folders. No messages are migrated to
Cyrus.



Can you comment some thoughts on what make you to change from courier to cyrus ?

For me, the driving force is that most of the groupware products (Kolab, etc.) require it. It appears that the shared folders in Cyrus, is what Cyrus does better than most of the other IMAP servers. I could never get courier's shared folders to work consistently with all the users. I sure hope it works better in Cyrus. On the other hand, I personally like the Maildir's of courier rather than Cyrus and courier has been very reliable with many concurrent users and large email accounts.

The main reason *should* be that Courier isn't IMAP compliant (its IMAP-like, but not complaint per RFC 3501), and the author has no intention of making it so.


There are plenty of threads on mailing lists and newsgroups which discuss this.
