    Hi! I have an old Debian 9 server with some mailboxes (ispconfig).
    I'd like to migrate them to other server, also with Ispconfig / Debian 10, where there are some webs, but not mailboxes.
    What's the way to do it? Can I use migration tool? Or should I migrate it "manually"?

    I wonder if it could be easier, because I just have half a dozen accounts, just use the mailbox backup files, moving them to the target server, and saving where the "restore" feature would be able to fetch them...

    For a small number of accounts I would manually create the mailboxes on the new server and use rsync to copy the data, it would be easier than backup/restore. You would have to manually check for any custom mail filters, etc. in ispconfig.

    Thanks for your advice.
    Where are mailboxes (or other files to be rsynced)?
