From or to Zimbra R. Read the FAQ.Zimbra.txt https://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ.d/FAQ.Zimbra.txt ======================================================================= Q. From or to HMailServer version 4.4.1. R. You have to add prefix and separator manually because 4.4.1 doesn't honor the NAMESPACE imap command. Example for host1: imapsync ... \ --prefix1 "" --sep1 . No specific option for HMailServer 5.3.3 since NAMESPACE is supported. Maybe --subscribe_all will help you to see all migrated folders. ======================================================================= Q. from Microsoft's Exchange 2007 to Google Apps for your Domain (GAFYD) R. Take a look at: http://mark.ossdl.de/2009/02/migrating-from-exchange-2007-to-google-apps-mail/ ======================================================================= Q. Migrating from or to Parallels Plex Server R. It depends on the OS Parallells Plesk Panel for Windows requires --sep2 / --prefix2 "" Parallells Plesk Panel for Linux works with default parameters. ======================================================================= Q. I'm migrating from WU to Cyrus, and the mail folders are under /home/user/mail but the tool copies everything in /home/user, how can i avoid that? Two solutions: R. Use imapsync ... --include '^mail' R. or (better) imapsync ... --subscribed --subscribe ======================================================================= Q. I'm migrating from WU to Cyrus, and the mail folders are under /home/user/mail directory. When imapsync creates the folders in the new cyrus imap server, it makes a folder "mail" and below that folder puts all the mail folders the user have in /home/user/mail, i would like to have all those folders directly under INBOX. R. Use imapsync ... --regextrans2 's/^mail/INBOX/' --dry look at the simulation and if all transformations seem good then remove the --dry option. ======================================================================= Q. Migrating from Groupwise to Cyrus R. By Jamie Neil: I eventually managed to get the mail to migrate without errors using the following options: --sep1 / - doesn't report separator so has to be set explicitly. --nosyncacls - doesn't support ACLs. --skipheader '^Content-Type' - MIME separator IDs seem to change every time a mail is accessed so this is required to stop duplicates. --maxage 3650 - some messages just don't seem to want to transfer and produce the perl errors I mentioned before. This prevents the errors, but the bad messages don't transfer. Even though the mail migrated OK, there are a couple of gotchas with Groupwise IMAP: 1) Some of the GW folders are not real folders and are not available to IMAP, the main problem one being "Sent Items". I could find no way of coping the contents of these folders. The nearest I got was to create a "real" folder and copy/move the sent items into it, but imapsync still didn't see the messages (I think because there is something funny about the reported dates/sizes). It think this problem has been rectified in GW6.5. 2) The "skipheader '^Content-Type'" directive is required to stop duplicate messages being created. GW seems to generate this field on the fly for messages that have MIME separators and so it's different every time. 3) Version 6.0.1 of the Groupwise Internet Connector sucks. I was getting server aborts when I pushed it a bit hard! I eventually had to upgrade to 6.0.4 which seems to be a lot more stable. ======================================================================= Q. Migrating from iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004)) to Groupwise 7.0 I encounter many errors like this: "Error trying to append string: 17847 BAD APPEND" R. GroupWise 7 seems buggy. Apply GroupWise 7 support pack 1 ======================================================================= Q. Migrating from or to David Tobit R. See FAQ.David_Tobit.txt https://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ.d/FAQ.David_Tobit.txt ======================================================================= Q. I need to migrate 1250 mailboxes, passwords are in a MySQL Database. Can you tell me if your script suits my needs? R. Mailboxes must exist before running imapsync. You have to extract users logins and passwords in a csv file. See the "HUGE MIGRATION" section in the README file. ====================================================================== Q: From MailEnable 1.75 R: --sep1 "/" --prefix1 "" Q: From MailEnable 2.2 R: --sep1 "." --prefix1 "" Q: To MailEnable R: --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --addheader --messageidnodomain --syncflagsaftercopy ====================================================================== Q. From GMX IMAP4 StreamProxy R. Use: --prefix1 INBOX and --sep1 . ====================================================================== Q. From Courier to Archiveopteryx R. You can read http://www.archiveopteryx.org/migration/imapsync Default values might be fine now with latest imapsync. ====================================================================== Q. To Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05 Q. To Communigate Pro - Solaris version R. See and run patches/imapsync_1.267_jari ====================================================================== Q. From Softalk Workgroup Mail 7.6.4 R. Old Softalk releases don't support the IMAP SEARCH command. Here are the options to get it working. imapsync ... --sep1 '.' --prefix1 '' \ --noabletosearch1 --nocheckmessageexists --addheader (Thanks to Andrew Tucker) ====================================================================== Q. From or to QQMail IMAP4Server R. imapsync ... --noabletosearch1 ====================================================================== Q. From FirstClass to XXX http://www.firstclass.com/ R. Migrating from FirstClass is not easy because FirstClass, strangely, does not show all messages via IMAP. To make it show all messages, a trick, painful to follow by hand, is moving emails out and back in, for each folder. May be it can be done by a script. FirstClass releases prior to release 12 do not shows the "Sent" folder in IMAP but FirstClass release 12 shows it. I advice you to upgrade to FirstClass release 12 before leaving it with imapsync or another imap tool. Here is a command line used to migrate from FirtClass release 12: imapsync ... \ --tmpdir /var/tmp --usecache \ --useheader Message-ID \ --idatefromheader \ --addheader \ --regextrans2 "s,(/|^) +,\$1,g" --regextrans2 "s, +(/|$),\$1,g" \ --regextrans2 "s/[\^]/_/g" \ --regextrans2 "s/['\"\\\\]/_/g" \ --regextrans2 "s,&AC8-,-,g" \ --regextrans2 "s,&APg-,oe,g" On Windows: imapsync.exe ... ^ --automap ^ --usecache ^ --useheader Message-ID ^ --idatefromheader ^ --addheader ^ --regextrans2 "s,(/|^) +,$1,g" ^ --regextrans2 "s, +(/|$),$1,g" ^ --regextrans2 "s/[\^]/_/g" ^ --regextrans2 "s/['\\]/_/g" ^ --regextrans2 "s,^&AC8-,-,g" ^ --regextrans2 "s,^&APg-,oe,g" Special thanks to Kristian Wind and Joey Alexander for helping me writing this FAQ item. See also this worth reading discussion in a Zimbra forum: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/migration/20349-help-needed-migrating-firstclass.html ====================================================================== Q. From XXX to FTGate R. Do NOT use --usecache since new UIDs are not given by FTGate and also badly guessed by imapsync. UIDEXPUNGE does not work so use also --expunge2 when using --delete2 imapsync ... \ --sep2 / --prefix2 "" \ --useheader Message-Id \ ======================================================================= =======================================================================
