I have now managed to download imapsync. As I will be transferring mail from one account to another account within the "SAME" server, do I need to use the passwords of the accounts (which are not available to us)?
I can do it as cyrus user hopefully?
I am asking this question because I am dealing with live server and don't want to mess it up.

If it is successful, is it necessary to do reconstruct?

Thanks for all your help.

The problem is little simpler. we have two accounts - one current, the other one is an old one. The idea is to migrate the mail from old one to the current one and expunge the old account at some future date. However the user has only access to the current account, no access to the old account. So the user can not drag or drop or anything like that.
On top of that, we also don't have the passwords of neither accounts.

Multiply the problem with 450 pairs - this is what we are facing.


Maybe you can use a commandline tool like imapsync as and admin user
(f.x. cyrus) and do it that way?

We have two users. We would like to copy all the mail from one user to another. What is the best way to do it? Copying file by file will not work as it would clash with existing names like 300. etc.
Renaming is out of question as we would like to preserve both the accounts.

Any idea will be appreciated.

why not use the ACL's to share the one mailbox with the other user?
