Hi,
 How to migrate user accounts and mails from Clearos to SME 8 server

[Stefano]

hi

create all users on SME server then use imapsync to migrate mails

HTH

[sujith0602]

Thank you for your reply. Will the mail format of clearos support SME?

[Stefano]

as long as you transfer/migrate emails via imap access, yes

[sujith0602]

Thank you Stefano, I will try it and get back to you.

[sujith0602]

Do we have to install imapsync in both the clearos and sme?

[Stefano]

no.. you can install it on SME or on ClearOS.. it doesn't matter

[sujith0602]

Thank you, so can we do the migration process from clearos itself? As in my case the clearos is the source

[Stefano]

yes, of course

[sujith0602]

I am getting authentication error while doing imapsync in the clearos
I am unable to post the screen shot. why do the authentication error occur even as we have created the passfile with the correct password.

[Stefano]

you forgot to tell us which server gives you auth error.. ClearOs or SME? are you using imap? imaps?
is your SME in server-only or server & gateway mode? are the servers in the same subnet?

what kind of auth are you using? did you read carefully imapsync's documentation?

[sujith0602]

yes both the servers are in the same subnet mask, we get the authentication error in the clearos and I have installed imapsync in the clearos itself and have created passfile for both the accounts so while trying to migrate the mails we get the authentication error in the clearos which is the source server(server1). Can you please tell me how to attach a file? so I can provide you with the screen shot

[Stefano]

if you have auth problems with ClearOS, you should ask for support on their support forums/mailing list..

instead of posting a screenshot, paste the error message (use the [ code ] tag)

[sujith0602]

[Stefano]
