Quoting Eric and Barbara Sammons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I am migrating from UW to dovecot and using mbox.
I did the same. I'm sure you'll be pleased by the results. I assume you are using 1.0 and not 0.99 versions?
I have been able to find mbox to maildir migration information and tools; however, I have had little luck finding any tool or information for performing such a migration where I wish to keep mbox. ( I know I should migrate to MailDir, but in the case I wish to take baby steps.)
There is nothing wrong with staying with mbox. There may be reasons it is best or better to do so (then again, there could be reasons to go to maildir instead -- it all depends on your needs and setup). There are few pages about the migration because there is so little to do for it.
I have setup dovecot pop3 communication and I go to my email client and everything works fine with the exception that all mail I have previously read (when using UW as my POP server) is downloaded again as NEW. Is there a way to prevent this from happening without setting my client to delete mail from server?
Did you set up your UID format properly in dovecot.conf? It should be: pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu Other than that, it should pretty much work from my experience...
thank you!
