<p>Hi, I'm trying split users mailboxes into two smaller servers running Cyrus-IMAP (for organizational purposes only). These servers are running the newest version of Cyrus-IMAP available to a Debian system (2.5.10-3), while the old server runs Cyrus on version 2.2.13-14. I've done the migration of another server running this same version to the newest version with no problems.</p>
<p>Now, I need to do a migration to the new servers and split the mailboxes. This is what I did for the first server already:</p>
<p> - Back up part of the mailboxes to the new server using <strong>rsync</strong>;</p>
<p> - Back up the files contained in the <strong>/var/lib/cyrus/domain</strong> directory;</p>
<p> - Dump the corresponding entries of the mailboxes.db using <strong>ctl_mboxlist -d</strong>;</p>
<p>On the new server I did:</p>
<p> - Remove the content of <strong>/var/lib/cyrus</strong>;</p>
<p> - Run the <strong>makedirs</strong> command;</p>
<p> - Imported the database entries using <span><strong>ctl_mboxlist -u</strong>;</span></p>
<p><span> - Copy the domain content back into <strong>/var/lib/cyrus</strong>;</span></p>
<p><span> - Reconstruct the databases using <strong>reconstruct -rf user/*</strong> (got no output from this);<br /></span></p>
<p><span> - Change the database indexes to max using<strong> reconstruct -V max</strong> (this one gave output for all the imported mailboxes)</span></p>
<p><span>After all these steps, I noticed that no users had their quota set.<br />And trying to set it manually told me the mailboxes don't exist.<br />Though dumping the database show me otherwise.</span></p>
<p><span>I've tried to create the mailboxes manually too, but after setting the users quota, <br />it was shown that there was no quota usage for any of the users.</span></p>
<p><span>So, am I missing something in this procedure? </span></p>
<p><span>What is the correct way of doing this?</span></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><span>Holp you can help me. Thanks in advance!</span></p>
