Topic: email restore probleme

[painkiller]

My server crash, i copy the mail from the old disk to the new server , when i wanne see my mail i can see that i have mail and the new mail i can read but the old mail i only can see the header (from, to ,ccc etc) when i open the mail the mail is empty. This is the same when i log in to webmail.

i try this :

chown -R user:user user on each userdir
chmod -R 755 userdir/* on each userdir

Even though you say you did change ownership, your problem sounds like an ownership issue. Perhaps you did not do it correctly.
Check ownership is correct

ls -al  /home/e-smith/files/users/username/Maildir/cur
ls -al  /home/e-smith/files/users/username/Maildir/new

cd /home/e-smith/files/users/username/
chown -R username:username Maildir

for each valid username on your system

Looks like everything is ok, the filename is highlighted "green" that is executable, right!

The messages only need to have
-rw-------
permissions

Look like you have a lot of zero byte size files. Perhaps you did not copy them correctly.
Can you  read those 0 sized message files using mc & view (F3) ?

[painkiller]
