Our office had a user leave. Another user is taking over her duties and needs
reference to the
departing user's email. I've copied that entire departed user's Maildir
structure to the current
user:
mv olduser/Maildir/.* curuser/Maildir/.olduser
I did change permission and ownership on curuser/Maildir/.olduser to be the
target user. I did
not bring over the olduser/Maildir/dovecot* files (indexes, subscriptions,
etc.) as I thought
that would be bad.
Maildir has no nested folders.
If you want a subtree structure in maildir you must create each folder at the
first level
in the new user you must have something like:
.olduser.INBOX
.olduser.Sent
.olduser.Trash
.olduser.Drafts
.olduser.whatever
Each directory with tmp, newm cur subdirs only (ad dovecot files, of course)
