I did a migration to a new server. I copied /var/vmail to the new server. But all the inboxes of the email accounts are empty. How to migrate them without knowing the users passwords?
Does the old and new server use the same imap server (courier or dovecot) If not, then inboxes will be empty as courier and dovecot used different folder structures.
Hi Till, Yes you are right. One uses dovecot and the other courier. Any way to get the emails somewhere into some folders back? Or should I create old folder names?
Can I use your Courier to Dovecot script on the old server to rename the folder structure and than do a rsync of the /var/vmail folder to the new server that hads Dovecot? http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=281080&postcount=3
Strange thing is. I installed new server and configured server (The Perfect Server). I think it configures Dovecot and Sieve. After that I migrated from the old server, it is configured like Courier and Maildrop. I also copied the ispconfig database I guess it changed the setting in ispconfig back to courier and maildrop. Because when I open the new server and go to System > Server Config > Mail it sais: Should I change it to Dovecot and Sieve? Because I think everything works fine...?
