Importing Exsisting Folders/Messages/Address books

[fmodola]

I have to test with another account to see that ... now my nsf DB has been migrated into Zimbra ...

I'm very impressed by the low disk place taken while migrating from Lotus Domino to Zimbra : under Lotus Domino, my nsf DB takes 450 MB on the server disk, under Zimbra ... only 210 MB !!! Great ...

Does Zimbra organise the IMAP synced mails the same manner than the mails received by SMTP (one instance of each mail on the disk, even if it's available for several users/accounts) ?

It seems for zimbra all folders are in the root level rather than as subfolder of [INBOX] Any idea how to configure imapcopy not to create subfolders?

The answer to this comes from the imapsync FAQ (http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/FAQ), as I was just trying to figgure this out my self:


Q. Give examples about --regextrans2

R. Examples:

1) To remove INBOX. in the name of destination folders:
--regextrans2 's/^INBOX\.(.+)/$1/'

2) To sync a complete account in a subfolder called FOO:
--regextrans2 's/^INBOX(.*)/INBOX.FOO$1/'

[fmodola]

Thanks for the answer, i'll try this asap.

PLEASE NOTE: in practice this might be a combination of the two:
This is what I just came up with that worked-- the first one up there doesnt seem to work.... but combining the "spirit" of number 2 above with #1 I have found this(below) DOES work:

imapsync --nosyncacls --syncinternaldates 
--regextrans2 's/^INBOX.(.*)/$1/' 
--host1 $host1 --user1 "$user" --password1 "$p1" 
--host2 $host2 --user2 "$user" --password2 "$p1"

note:the "." is a concatiator symbol in a "regular expression" but in this case we want all instances of:
INBOX.* = *
But still want
INBOX = INBOX

so:
INBOX
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Sent
INBOX.Trash

should go to
INBOX
Drafts
Sent
Trash

if the "." is in the wrong place it tries to make INBOX* = * and then
you get:
/
Drafts
Sent
Trash

and that / = ugly mess, as none of your inbox messages make it into the inbox

That's incorrect - '.' matches any single character.

but in this case we want all instances of:
INBOX.* = *
But still want
INBOX = INBOX

so:
INBOX
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Sent
INBOX.Trash

should go to
INBOX

Trash

You regex will work, though there's a difference between yours and the one you got from the examples.

Their example:

's/^INBOX\.(.+)/$1/'

Means "match, at the beginning of the string (^) the word "INBOX" followed by a literal '.' (\ escapes the '.') followed by one or more characters (.+). Replace this with the match for "one or more characters"

So INBOX.foo maps to foo, and INBOX.bar maps to bar. However, INBOXFOO still maps to INBOXFOO - which is where your example breaks:

's/^INBOX.(.*)/$1/'

Means "match, at the beginning of the string (^) the word "INBOX" followed by any character, followed by zero or more characters (.*). Replace this with the match for "zero or more characters"

So, INBOX.foo maps to foo - but INBOXfoo maps to oo, and INBOXf maps to the empty string.

Not something that you'll likely hit (the domain of folder names that will break you is pretty small), but it could haunt you.

You need to create the user. You can point Zimbra at your old LDAP for the password or you can have user's change their password on first login.

Hi all,

what are the packages necessary to install IMAPsync correctly ???
I've tried to install some dependencies, but it seems to have a lot of dependencies ...
I need it to sync my old mail box on Lotus Domino 6 with my new mail box on Zimbra 4.
What's the way to make imapsync work ???

[phoenix]

The requirements are in the imapsync install file. I'm guessing that your operating systems probably isn't up to date.

[fmodola]

That's true.
We're not member of the RHN so we can't have updates ... can we ?
That's why I'm going to install gcc from the install CDs.
