Different mailbox size after migration

Hi,
I need to migrate account from
Release 5.0.10_GA_2609.DEBIAN4.0 DEBIAN4.0 FOSS edition
to
Release 7.1.0_GA_3140.RHEL5_64_20110329150833 CentOS5_64 FOSS edition
I tried the script:
[QUOTE]/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m $USERNAME getRestURL "//?fmt=tgz" > /tmp/$USERNAME.tgz
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m UserEmailAddress postRestURL "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=reset" /tmp/username@domain.tld.tgz[/QUOTE]
I notice that the size on destination server is much smaller than the initial one.

For example:
[QUOTE]$ zmmailbox -z -m mailuser@domain gms

522.03 MB[/QUOTE]
The .tgz is around 120 MB.
I copied the .tgz to destination server and imported it. After migration this is the result
[QUOTE]$ zmmailbox -z -m mailuser@domain gms

182.19 MB[/QUOTE]
It is a bug? Should I use imapsync? Imapsync is fine but the transfer is ofter interrupted with "out of memory" error..

Thank you very much

Fixed in 7.1.3 - Bug 56458 - Mailbox export returns a corrupted tarball
