translatesieve¶
Translate sieve scripts to use unixhierarchysep and/or altnamespace.
Synopsis¶
translatesieve [-f] [-a] [-u] [-n] [-v] [-C imapd.conf]
Description¶
translatesieve can both translate the mailbox separator characters
in sieve scripts from traditional netnews style -- '.' -- to new Unix
style -- '/' -- and vice versa. It can also convert sieve scripts to
use altnamespace mailbox naming conventions. Please also see
Mailbox namespaces for details.
In its default mode, translatesieve assumes that the old configuration
used both unixhierarchysep: no and altnamespace: no. If your
configuration was already using one of these, then use the appropriate
flag, -u for unixhierarchysep: yes or -a for
altnamespace: yes. Failure to do so may ruin your sieve scripts.
A "Dry run" mode is available via -n and you are strongly encouraged to use this.
translatesieve reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
Must be run as the cyrus user.
Options¶
- -f¶
Keep going on errors.
- -a¶
Translate from a configuration which already used
altnamespace: yes.
- -u¶
Translate from a configuration which already used
unixhierarchysep: yes.
- -n¶
Dry-run mode. No changes will be written, but you'll be shown what would be changed.
- -v¶
Verbose mode. Note: -n implies -v.
- -C config-file¶
Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).
