hello
i'm on the way to migrate my old server (classic postfix+dovecot+etc...) to iredmail.

i've users with big mailbox (1.5Go), in maildir format, so all mails are in the /cur folder.
if i copy the folder in right place on the new server, old mailbox will not be hashed, exact?
only new mails?

Regards

This is up to you.

Dovecot is configured to query maildir path from SQL/LDAP, it gets the maildir path and create it on file system.
So you need to make sure the maildir path stored in SQL/LDAP is same as the one one file system.
