Hey

I have about 7000 email addresses to transfer from a single Dovecot server. The mail transfer itself was successful and I can read the messages through Roundcube. The problem has become that all the messages are unread. Dovecot uid-list and filenames match each other, so the problem is probably not there. There is an S flag in the file names, which should mark the message as read. However, this is not what it does. If I go to open the message, S:2:S appears in the file name I can't use imapsyc because I don't know the email login information. The migration should be as inconspicuous as possible for the end user

Hey there! I'm assuming the remote server isn't a cPanel system? If so, so I don't have an automated solution to provide on my end. My go-to is always Imapsync, but you already mentioned that isn't an option.

I'm sorry I don't have more details for you. I'll leave this marked as new to see if other users can comment with their experiences.
