Have you seen this page on the wiki: http://acs-wiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/MboxCyrusMigration
Also consider using mbox to other format converters and then pulling them into cyrus. Or, potentially, setup a temporary server using something like the uw-imap server. It'll read directly from the mbox files. Then you could use imapsync to pull them from there onto the target cyrus box. Does the QMP server have any interfaces? POP? You could always setup some scripts and fetchmail to pull them off via POP and put them into cyrus. There's more than one way to solve the problem. Some are good for really BIG migrations and others are well suited for quick hacks. -Bill Kearney ----- Original Message ----- We are currently moving away from a POP3-based system (QuickMail Pro server and client) to IMAP, with Cyrus as the IMAP server and primarily Thunderbird as the client. Have already succesfully transitioned our users to using IMAP via Thunderbird. The problem we have run into is with older emails. QuickMail uses its own format for storing messages. I was able to convert these into standard MBOX format using a tool called qmptombox, which we were able to import into Thunderbird's "Local Folders". Ideally, however, we would like to have these messages reside on the IMAP server itself. Are there any tools available that will take MBOX mailboxes and insert them into Cyrus? If not, if anyone has found a suitable workaround, I would love to hear it. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
