Migrating esmith email accounts and mails to Exchange
« on: September 01, 2005, 09:48:36 AM »
Hi there,

A business that we support is currently using a Linux SME box running esmith for internal and external mail.  They find that the esmith mail server doesnt fulfil what they want from a mail server so they have purchased the latest version of MS Exchange.  They still require the SME box to perform gateway functions, but I now have about 400 users who need to be migrated over.  Does anyone know the best way to go about this?  I suppose we could setup the new server first and begin to route mails through it, but what can be done about the existing mails in users inboxes?

Any help of tips would be very gratefully received

regards,

Net Sys

Why dont you give Imapcopy a try, apparently it was written just for this purpose. It may take a little while to populate the config file with all the users but once that's done, sit back and have a  :pint:
