allow migrate without reset flag

[maty974]

Hi @joeyates

I'm still in the same case as my previous issue, I need to migrate mail accounts to the same domain name.

• I was wondering if the migrate command can be used without the --reset flag, with the same behaviour as the restore command where newly arrived mails left untouched from the destination server during the restore

In the case of a domain transfert to the same domain name to another host provider, I will create new empty target mail accounts on the new hosting provider, but before I do the migrate command it is possible that new mails arrive in the new empty mail box and cannot be backed up before migration is done

To avoid loosing theses newly arrived mails the --reset flag is problematic while using the migrate command

I hope my explanations are clear and a solution is available for again this (not so?) special case :smiley:

Thanks again :pray:

@maty974 I'll have another look at the migrate command to see if it is really necessary to require that the destination folder is empty.

IIRC, it was originally intended to avoid the mess of repeated migrations causing multiple copies of emails to end up on the destination server. If that is the only reason why there's this requirement, the --reset flag can become optional.

Hi @joeyates !

Yeah it seems to work fine :+1:

Do the migrate command use the option like multi_fetch_size ? It seems to be very slow compared to the backup command

EDIT: sadly, the upload speed is extremly slow, a mail box of 500Mo take more than 1 hour to migrate :crying_cat_face:

Thanks again for your help

@joeyates my fault, something was limiting my VM traffic 👌

everything seems to be fine, without the now optional —reset argument

thanks 🙏
