Hi Chris,
In order to be able to help you could you tell us some more about how
the user, mailbox, folder and mail data are currently stored?
regards roel

Hi all!
I have two questions for everyone.
Both questions have the following common content:
The two servers mentioned are currently running Mandrake 8.1 with the
funky ReiserFS filesystem. They both have all passwords and things in
/etc/passwd + /etc/shadow (i.e. All users are real). Additionally,
both use Postfix and both make heavy use of the virtual mapping that
Postfix is capable of (our /etc/postfix/virtual files contain 100s of
users in each case). In both cases, we are looking to drop DBMail in
as a replacement, but:
* The first server uses UW-IMAP (I know, I should be flamed). We host
hundereds of users on this box. Most users use POP3 to retrieve their
stuff but some use a webmail interface. As we don't want to have to
input their passwords again, we need to be able to migrate their
account details and anything they may have in their mail folders.
* The second server uses Cyrus (I'm expecting the flames to be
less...). We don't host as many users but some users have stupidly
large mailboxes (one person has 4.3GB of stuff in theirs). We need to
be able to migrate all their stuff over. Password migration isn't as
much of an issue.
Essentially, I'm looking for recommendations for the DB in each case
and any pointers to software to assist with the migration or,
alternatively, tips on writing my own. I'm a pretty decent C, Java and
bash(lol) coder. If you consider Haskell or Prolog useful, I know
those as well. If the tools aren't out there to do the above, I'd be
happy to write them and contribute them to the DBMail project as well
as documentation of each process.
Thanks heaps for reading this long post!
Chris
