Hey,
I am working on doing this migration myself. I have migrated some test
users. And I have build this script to help me, maybe you can use it for
inspiration(It is on your own risk to use it!):
#!/bin/sh
#Source="/var/vpopmail/"
Destination="/var/mail/vmail/"
i=0
for line in $(cat mailboxs.txt)
do
if [ -d $Source$line.maildir ]
then
# Create destination
echo "--Creating $Destination$line"
mkdir -p $Destination$line
# Load new data from backup
echo "--Copy from $Source$line to $Destination$line"
cp -a $Source$line.maildir $Destination$line
#If they exist mv trash, send and draft to .INBOX.XXXX
echo "--If exist then, mv trash send and draft to
.INBOX.XXX in $Destination$line"
if [ -d $Destination$line/.maildir/.Drafts ]; then
mv $Destination$line/.maildir/.Drafts
$Destination$line/.maildir/.INBOX.Drafts
fi
if [ -d $Destination$line/.maildir/.Trash ]; then
mv $Destination$line/.maildir/.Trash
$Destination$line/.maildir/.INBOX.Trash
fi
if [ -d $Destination$line/.maildir/.Sent ]; then
mv $Destination$line/.maildir/.Sent
$Destination$line/.maildir/.INBOX.Sent
fi
# Change the file right to the new system incl hidden files
echo "--Changes owner to vmail:vmail on
$Destination$line recursive"
chown -R vmail:vmail $Destination$line $Destination$line.*
# Run converter script if et reports an error we stop
the whole script
echo "--Calling courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"
/home/weiser/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --to-dovecot
--convert $Destination$line.maildir
current=$?
if [ $current -ne "0" ]; then
echo "$current"
exit
fi
# move data from .maildir to ..
echo "--Moving data from ./.maildir to ."
mv $Destination$line.maildir/* $Destination$line
mv $Destination$line.maildir/.* $Destination$line
# remove old unused .maildir
echo "--Remove old courierfiles and folder and .maildir"
rmdir $Destination$line.maildir
/usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name
courierimapsubscribed -exec rm {} \;
/usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name courierimapuiddb
-exec rm {} \;
/usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name
courierpop3dsizelist -exec rm {} \;
/usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name courierimapacl
-exec rm {} \;
/usr/bin/find $Destination$line -name
courierimapkeywords -exec rm -f -R {} \;
i=$(( i + 1 ))
else
echo "$Source$line.maildir folder not found"
fi
done;
echo "$i mailbox mirgrated"
it needs to external files to work:
mailboxs.txt, which have a path to each mail folder:
domain1/user1/
domain1/user2/
domain2/user1/
and the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl which you can find more information
about here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier
good luck.
