What is the imap server? mainstream provider?
Ok.
Imapsync resyncs flags by default.

Hi, and thanks The source email server uses icewarp as a mail server. From your response, I understand that it is possible to get the correct state of the email after being migrated from a backup just by executing a sync from the source server? I will try it and report back Regards. |

Hi,
We are in the middle of migration phase and we have issues with our mail provider, we cannot sync our data in a stable manner.
We asked for a backup of our data, and finally we got it, we then configured a local dovecot server and pushed some maildir backups on it to test the migration.
The maildir could not be used directly we had to alter its directory tree. We did a test and we could get the data transferred to our new mail server but with some issues :
1 - The timestamp of the email was not kept correct on the backup (mtime), so after the migration, all emails are being shown as if they were received/sent on the same day, this problem was mitigated using this script : https://github.com/mikebrady/imap_maildir_date_fixer (if it can help someone else).
2 -The email flags were not recovered, so all emails are being shown as unread.
The source server is still accessible despite it's poor service, is there a way using imapsync to sync email flags from the source server after the local migration?
Regards.
