Title: copy mailboxes from imap [SOLVED]
Post by: crusader on July 31, 2007, 06:02:50 PM

Is there some easy way to copy some already existing mailboxes and e-mails from one old server installation to a newly setuped sme 7.2 installation? If yes where do I find the db or directories to copy?

I think LazyAdminTools and Imapcopy should be able to do the trick. There is plenty of info in the forums about using both of these.

Imapcopy will work, or follow this - http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=37983.0

In short:
copy maildir from old server to new server
change to user dir on new server
chown -R user:user user

Thank you for your answer, just copying the maildir directories worked well, but I figured out the the imapcopy you mentioned is a really great help while trying to copy more then one mailbox from several users. It really works reliable, and gives some tests at hand which are very helpful.
