+Binc IMAP
+=========
+
+*WARNING: Badly done migration will cause your IMAP and/or POP3 clients to
+re-download all mails. Read <Migration.txt> page first carefully.*
+
+If you're using only Binc IMAP, it's possible to do a transparent Dovecot
+migration.
+
+Binc IMAP v1.2 and later
+------------------------
+
+binc2dovecot.pl attempts to do as perfect migration as possible. Basically it
+reads Binc's uidlist files from the specified maildir and it's (sub-)folders
+and generates 'dovecot-uidlist' files out of them. It also converts Binc's
+subscription file. This script hasn't been tested with Binc IMAP< 1.2.
+
+If Binc has been used with the IMAPdir depot format, it need to be converted to
+Maildir++ with the script IMAPdir2Maildir++ before running binc2dovecot.pl.
+

+Usage: ./binc2dovecot.pl /path/to/user
+
+NOTE: /path/to/user/Maildir MUST exist. If "./Maildir" isn't your default
+maildir-name, you can edit this at the top of the script.
+

+Example 1:
+# find /var/pop -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec

+
+Dovecot configuration
+---------------------
+
+Binc IMAP by default uses "INBOX/" as the IMAP namespace for private mailboxes.
+If you want a transparent migration, you'll need to configure Dovecot to use a
+namespace with "INBOX/" prefix as well.
+
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
+namespace {
+ separator = /
+ prefix = INBOX/
+ inbox = yes
+}
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Manual conversion
+-----------------
+
+ * Binc's '.bincimap-subscribed' file is compatible with Dovecot's
+ 'subscriptions' file, but you need to remove the "INBOX/" prefixes from the
+ mailboxes.
+ * Binc's 'bincimap-cache + bincimap-uidvalidity' are NOT compatible with
+ Dovecot's 'dovecot-uidlist' file. See file format documention or above
+ script for conversion.
+ * Binc's message flags are compatible with Dovecot (as they are specified by
+ the Maildir specification)
