THANK YOU! Yup, that might help as well.

You asked for it, so here's more:

After creating all users on the new machine using the slapcat -> edit -> 
slapadd method described earlier, I noticed one annoying thing: ALL users 
created that way got "rswipcda" as permissions on their INBOX - while any 
user that I create using the normal way (via the webinterface) gets 
"lrswipcda". This has effectively foiled my first attempts at using imapsync 
for transferring mails (which is much less tedious than the method  described 
in the doc above - I want to try and combine imapsync with the tips in there 
to copy the annotations. In addition, imapsync copies flags...). An excerpt 
from "ctl_mboxlist -d" on the new server:

[...]
NEW.DOMAIN!user.testuser6  default testuser6 at NEW.DOMAIN       lrswipcda
NEW.DOMAIN!user.REALUSER    default REALUSER at NEW.DOMAIN rswipcda
[...]

testuser6 was created via the webinterface and REALUSER via slapadd. Neither 
account was worked on in any additional way (i.e. added in a client, sent 
mail to or suchlike). Shouldn't both behave the same?

Much appreciated!

Cheerio,
