Binc IMAP
=========

*WARNING: Badly done migration will cause your IMAP and/or POP3 clients to
re-download all mails. Read <Migration.txt> page first carefully.*

If you're using only Binc IMAP, it's possible to do a transparent Dovecot
migration.

Binc IMAP v1.2 and later
------------------------

binc2dovecot.pl attempts to do as perfect migration as possible. Basically it
reads Binc's uidlist files from the specified maildir and it's (sub-)folders
and generates 'dovecot-uidlist' files out of them. It also converts Binc's
subscription file. This script hasn't been tested with Binc IMAP< 1.2.

If Binc has been used with the IMAPdir depot format, it need to be converted to
Maildir++ with the script IMAPdir2Maildir++ before running binc2dovecot.pl.

Usage: ./binc2dovecot.pl /path/to/user

NOTE:  /path/to/user/Maildir MUST exist. If "./Maildir" isn't your default
maildir-name, you can  edit this at the top of the script.

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example 1:
# find /var/pop -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec
/path/to/binc2dove.pl {} \;

Example 2:
# find /usr/local/vpopmail/domains -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d -exec
/path/to/binc2dove.pl {} \;
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dovecot configuration
---------------------

Binc IMAP by default uses "INBOX/" as the IMAP namespace for private mailboxes.
If you want a transparent migration, you'll need to configure Dovecot to use a
namespace with "INBOX/" prefix as well.

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
namespace {
  separator = /
  prefix = INBOX/
  inbox = yes
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manual conversion
-----------------

 * Binc's '.bincimap-subscribed' file is compatible with Dovecot's
   'subscriptions' file, but you need to remove the "INBOX/" prefixes from the
   mailboxes.
 * Binc's 'bincimap-cache + bincimap-uidvalidity' are NOT compatible with
   Dovecot's 'dovecot-uidlist' file. See file format documention or above
   script for conversion.
 * Binc's message flags are compatible with Dovecot (as they are specified by
   the Maildir specification)
