Title: Migrating a single mailbox from SME 6.0 to 6.0.1-01
Post by: jarthurs on November 15, 2005, 05:28:03 PM

I'm currently moving across to a new server running 6.0.1-01 and I need to migrate a single mailbox from the old 6.0 box (my wife insists on using webmail and there will be hell to pay if I bring a new server online without her 500+ old messages on board).

I remember before when the admin account was so full of spam it would timeout on both webmail and POP3 I went in and manually deleted email files directly from the folder to gain access. Is there some way I can just copy the files from the old server to the new and if so, where do I find the mailbox folder?

Regards,
Jason.

Once I was able to remember where the mail folders were it was simply a case of tar the contents of /home/e-smith/files/users/<username>/Maildir and extracting it to the same folder on the new server. It all appears to be intact...
