Title: Moving Mail Files from old hard disk to a new disk
Post by: l00ph0le on April 11, 2006, 06:32:40 PM

I started a similar thread, however, this thread is more accurate.

I have rebuilt a SME server and want to move the mail from the old server to the new one.

Do I need to Create all the new accounts with their passwords and then move the mail files?

When I move the mail files, what am I moving?

Also in regards to the webmail settings, how can  I move them .

Create all the users on the new box,
then copy all the files/folders in /home/e-smith/files/users/YOURUSERNAME/Maildir/* to the new box to the same folder for each user.  That will copy the mail.  Webmail settings are in a MySQL database for horde.
