Topic: email restore

[maezrme]

 have just had a server hiccup under 7.1.  I have lost perl.  Since I was planning an a software/hardware upgrade anyway, I have decided that now is a good time.  he only catch is that I have imap email on the old drive that I want to move to the new system.  My backups are not fresh enough to help.  The data is there, I just cant seem to get it.  I have attempted to move the entire user account with no success.  There seems to be some data outside the bounds of the user account that regulated the messages in the imapped inbox.  Any  ideas?

(You have to change the owner of the mail store after you copy it to the new computer...)

Or, if IMAP still works on the old server, here's another option:

You can do a install from CD (select upgrade), and that hopefully should get your system running again.
