• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Forwarded to devs Courier to Dovecot migration does not keep subscribed folders

TITLE:
Courier to Dovecot migration does not keep subscibed folders
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk 17.5.3, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When I migrate a domain from a Plesk server with Courier to a domain with Dovecot it does NOT keep the subscribed folders.

This is necessary for a transparent migration.

A client connected to the new mailserver will see all its mail disappear before its eyes. This can easily be solved later, but not the damage to his heart....​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
migrate a domain from a Courier Plesk server to a Dovecot Plesk server​
ACTUAL RESULT:
All subscribed folders are gone​
EXPECTED RESULT:
Subscribed folders should be the same as on the source server​
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This is quite easy to implement during migration.
Dovecot keeps this information in the file 'subscriptions'
Courier keeps it in the file 'courierimapsubscribed'

sed '/^INBOX$/d;s/^INBOX//g' courierimapsubscribed >subscriptions
YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:
Confirm bug
 
It's the "subscription flags" that are gone.
Not the mail folders.

It's a simple text file that just needs to be filled
 
Sorry for my misunderstanding and answering here instead of the pm. I hope to see it resolved soon...
