    Hello,

    I have a problem with fetchmail/getmail on ISPConfig 3.
    I want to migrate all mail accounts from one of my clients from ISP's mail server to in-house ISPConfig 3.
    I added the same mail domain od ISPConfig 3, opened the same mail accounts and now I am trying to use ISPConfig's Fetchmail function to suck up all their e-mails to the new server.
    @till I followed your guidance here: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/fetchmail-use-ip-instead-of-fqdn.46710/#post-231863
    and my hosts file looks like this:
    Code:
    127.0.0.1    localhost
    #local IP    my.server.com    my
    static IP    my.server.com    my
    old mail server IP    old-mydomain.com    old-mydomain
    
    
    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    
    The problem is this:
    I configured 4 "rules" in Fetchmail and only one of them works.
    • When I configure Fetchmail like this:
    2015-03-06 13_18_49-ISPConfig 3.0.5.4p5.png
    It does nothing. I configured Fetchmail like this in 2 rules for 2 different users.
    • When I configure Fetchmail like this:
    2015-03-06 13_18_49-ISPConfig 3.0.5.4p5.png
    I configured Fetchmail like this in 2 rules for 2 different users and it works for one of the users.
    This is how my /etc/getmail folder looks like:
    2015-03-06 13_27_40-getmail - My VPS_NSC_root@vps3.goinfobl.com - WinSCP.png
    And each of those files has several lines looking like this:
    Code:
    1326959489/15
    1326959489/14
    1326959489/10
    So that tells me that the rules are working and e-mail are getting sucked from old-mydomain.com but only one of the rules actually delivers e-mails to destination folder.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Please help.

    Then the fetchmail function is the wrong way. This function is used to fetch emails regularily from a pop account at another provider, it is not for migrating mails. To migrate mails, use a toollike imapsync.

    Ok, following this guide: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-migrate-mailboxes-between-imap-servers-with-imapsync
    and at 3 imapsync Installation I get:
    Code:
    root@vps3:~# aptitude install imapsync
    Couldn't find any package matching "imapsync".  However, the following
    packages contain "imapsync" in their description:
      imapcopy
    Couldn't find any package matching "imapsync".  However, the following
    packages contain "imapsync" in their description:
      imapcopy
    No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
    0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
    I found here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/575776/aptitude-install-imapsync-does-not-work-anymore
    that it is not in the repositories anymore.
    Is there a way to install it or should I build it or use imapcopy as suggested in the post?
