Migrating from old IMAP to new Zimbra with imapsync

[withanh]

Zimbra version:
Release 6.0.14_GA_2928.DEBIAN5 DEBIAN5 FOSS edition.


I've been reading and searching the forums and see lots of things on how to do this using imapsync. I keep getting errors, I feel like I'm getting closer, but I know the issue is somehow related to the configuration of my Zimbra server. It originally would not let me log in using any authentication methods. I found how to allow PLAIN on the server so I did that, but still no go.

I'm stuck here and would love and appreciate any help.

My imapsync command is:

imapsync --host1 mail.domain.com --user1 me@domain.com --password1 123456 --host2 mail2.domain.com --user2 newuser@domain.com --password2 654321 -authmech2 PLAIN --ssl2 --port2 993

The result I am getting is:

Turned ON syncinternaldates, will set the internal dates on host2 same as host1.
TimeZone :[PST]
Will try to use CRAM-MD5 authentication on host1
Will try to use PLAIN authentication on host2

Hello,

It looks like login/password are wrong.
You can test this manually with telnet.

telnet mail2.domain.com 143
a02 LOGIN newuser@domain.com secret
a86 LOGOUT

I can't believe I made such a n00b error! I checked the logins/passwords 10 times and didn't realize I was mixing user1's login with user2's password.

Geez!

Thanks for the wake up
