[Mailsync-list] How to import old Cyrus mailboxes

[Aaron S. <am...@iz...>]

Hi,

I'm looking for an advice with this problem. My Debian (woody) running
Cyrus IMAP server lost its system disk. In ordr not to loose any
incoming mail I rebuilt it with the current stable (sarge) version and
recreated user mailboxes in the new Cyrus IMAP. The old mailboxes were
on a different disk and I need to import their contents to the new IMAP.
I hoped to do this by using mailsync with the following .mailsync but
the localdirectory store isn't recognised.

store localdirectory {
    pat /mnt/cyrus/mail
}

store cyrus {
    server (localhost/user=ams}
    ref {localhost}
    pat INBOX.sync.%
    prefix INBOX.sync.
    passwd _piccina
}

channel local-cyrus localdirectory cyrus {
    msinfo .msinfo
}


Any idea how to get this accomplished? Can I just drop the old mailbox
contents into new mailboxes, imcluding subfolders? If that is possible,
do I need to run something to recreate the index? Appreciace any help.


Regards,


-a
