converting from maildir to dbmail

Hi,

I am trying to substitute a courier install with dbmail. Of course the
current email archive must be preserved across the pc and the software
upgrade. I have tried to convert a few maildirs with
contrib/mailbox2dbmail in the source tree, but looks like date is not
preserved as well as the folder tree structure.

Any hints?

Best regards,
Andrea Fino

Try uploading a sieve script into the account before the input, dbmail
will then happily filter. Otherwise, you must start an upload per each
folder.

I just used mailbox2dbmail today and my dates are correct.

I thank you for your suggestion. By the way, I never used sieve
functionality at all. Could you point to a sample of such a script?

When I say : "date is not ok" I mean that instead of the original date
in which the email was received / sent, I find the date of the day in
which the mailbox2dbmail script was executed.

Best regards,
Andrea Fino

require ["fileinto", "reject", "envelope", "vacation", "subaddress",

if anyof (header :contains "to" ["@domain1"],
header :contains "list-id" ["<mail.list.id.info>"] ) {
fileinto "Private/allgemein";
stop;

I thank you, also read some basic documentation. One information I
missed to give probably is that my dbmail installation authenticate
against an Active Directory (Microsoft Server).

May be that the reason of date set to the run of mailbox2dbmail?
