HI. I have a program called imap copy which copies imap messages from one location to another. its configuration for accounts etc is a text file so very easy to work with. IF I can figure out where I got it, I will post. I have used this to transfer large volumes of mail from one server to another while retaining all the attributes. Brian.

Hello,
Thanks. On both servers the messages are in maildir format. Will the copying remove any attributes like received date and time, any flags set etc.
Thanks. Dave.

Hi.
Actually it probably is just a copy procedure. There are usually two types of mail store format, maildir, where each message is in a separate file, and MBOX, where each message is in a mailbox file. You can copy the files from the old to the new server.

Hello,
I've got two imap servers one old, one new. The old one has messages on it that i'd like to get on to the new one for several users. Both servers are using open source software, postfix for the MTA and Dovecot for the imap server. If anyone knows how to pull this off I'd like to know about it. I would try copying them,but doubt it's that simple, I want to preserve their dates, times, and attributes.
Thanks. Dave.
