How To Move mailbox from SME 6.0.1 TO SME 7.0
« on: September 24, 2006, 02:52:27 PM »
HI All,
 

   I got SME 6.0.1 as a Gateway and install the new SME 7.0 as a Server only.

  I want to remove this gateway and transfer all the User accounts and Email to this new server.

  How do i transfer above. Thanks.

A recent post mentioned "imapcopy" (http://home.arcor.de/armin.diehl/imapcopy/imapcopy.html) for this, and reports some good results.

From SME to SME you may also be able to simply use "scp" to copy the mail folders from the old server to the new one.

Watch out for the seni-colons and full stops in the MailDir's

When your logged into linux type
Code: [Select]
man scp
to get some instructions.

The missing mail could be because the folders are not owned by the correct users. Do some searching in these forums... you will find more information.
