I think I'll do that, and post my experiences. I couldn't figure out how to run cyrus2courier using dovemap style maildir under the users' home directories. And I suspected cyrus2maildir.py was limited. So I set up dovemap on a different machine, and ran imapsync transferring the messages. That worked fine, but to my disappointment the Gnus tickmarks haven't been preserved. As far as I know dovemap preserves client specific marks. Have I been mistaken in that nnimap stores its tickmarks as custom marks on the messages? Have I overlooked some imapsync arguments to preserve these marks? Do I have a too old dovecot (1.0.16) to expect custom marks to work? Thanx! - Steinar
