Migrating from Cyrus to Zimbra - imapsync

[claud1e]

Greetings-

Well the support site seems to be down so maybe I can get a quick reply here....

I'm currently migrating (or attempting to) from Cyrus to Zimbra using imapsync. I can successfuly run imapsync and copy data however, the folders from Cyrus are not created INSIDE the users Inbox on Zimbra.

I've tried a number of variations of the command to try and use the prefix for destination:

imapsync --nosyncacls --syncinternaldates --host1 server1.domain.com --ssl1 --port1 993 --authmech1 PLAIN --user1 user1 --passfile1 /home/user1/password1 --include '^INBOX' --sep1 . --prefix1 INBOX. --host2 server2.domain.com --ssl2 --port2 993 --authmech2 PLAIN --user2 user2 --passfile2 /home/user1/password2 --sep2 . --prefix2 INBOX. 2> cuser1Error.log > user1Results.log

When doing this imapsync just creates new folders call INBOX.newfolder1, INBOX.newfolder2 etc intead of copying it as a subfolder of the INBOX.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Claud1e

Turns out the separator in Cyrus is '.' while it is '/' in Zimbra.

Simply adding --prefix2 INBOX/ to my imapsync command fixed the issue.

imapsync --nosyncacls --syncinternaldates --host1 server1.domian.com --ssl1 --port1 993 --authmech1 PLAIN --user1 user1 --passfile1 /home/user1/user1 --include '^INBOX' --host2 server2.domain.com --ssl2 --port2 993 --authmech2 PLAIN --user2 user2 --passfile2 /home/user1/user2 --prefix2 INBOX/ 2> user1Error.log > cuser1Results.log

When I migrated from cyrus with imapsync I didn't have any problem with INBOX style...

just:
imapsync --nosyncacls --syncinternaldates --host1 server1.domian.com --ssl1 --port1 993 --authmech1 PLAIN --user1 user1 --passfile1 /home/user1/user1 --host2 server2.domain.com --ssl2 --port2 993 --authmech2 PLAIN --user2 user2 --passfile2 /home/user1/user2 INBOX/ 2> user1Error.log > cuser1Results.log

cyrus behaviour in this respect depends on how you have it configured. altnamespace option presents top level folders at the same level as INBOX where as standard namespace presents them under INBOX. unixhierarchysep denotes the delimiter.

Dear all,

I used the exact same imapsync options shown here. But all messages copied into zimbra are shown in bold as unread.
Please help. How to get the read flag over to zimbra?
Thanks in advance.
