Hi!

I have to move/migrate our old EMail server to a new one. To setup the
new Server wasn't a problem, but to migrate all the data ist the biggest
problem.

Old: RedHat 7.x, cyrus, sasl1 and sendmail.
New: Debian Sarge cyrus21, sasl2, exim 4.31

Now the Problems:

a) cyrus21 - "Root-Dirs" How to set them up? On the old it was easy to
setup a "spam" folder which was in the mailclient listing beside the
inbox and everybody could read/write in this folder. After moving the
data these folders seems to malfunction, is there a way to get them back?

b) sasl-sasl2 migration...
I had converting the old sasldb from RH with the RedHat tool and then
copy and converting with the Debian tool. Now sasl2dblistusers works
fine in debian, but errors while logging in:
~ Mar 29 16:06:58 europa2 cyrus/imapd[31927]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher
AES256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication
Mar 29 16:07:02 europa2 cyrus/imapd[31927]: badlogin:
xx.xx.xx.tu-bs.de[134.169.xx.xx] CRAM-MD5 [SASL(-13): user not
found: no secret in database]

I have to set a new password with saslpasswd2 for all the users to let
them log in :-( That suxx.

sasldblistusers2 lists all users, but with a different:
Old:
user at xx.xx.xx.tu-bs.de: cmusaslsecretcmusaslsecretPLAIN
New (after setting saslpasswd2):
user at europa2: userPassword

HOW can I migrate the old sasldb data to be used with the new
debian-server? Some users are really FAR away and can't come to me to
let their new pass here. And if it is their only mail-server I can't
change their passwd on my own.

Cya & thx
Lars
