    Hey folks,

    I'm just wondering.

    I'm migrating my old server to the new server.

    I've created a few websites en mailboxes on my new server.

    eg. website1.com and website2.com

    On domain is already pointing to my new server (website1.com)
    I'm preparing website2.com to migrate. (domain is not pointing to the new server yet)
    So what did i do.
    I've created a mailbox equals to the old server.
    [email protected].

    I'm using mb2md tool to convert the mailboxes.
    So i did

    Code:
    user@server:~> ./mb2md.pl -s /tmp/mailbox1 -R -d /var/vmail/website2.com/info/Maildir
    
    After running this, i can find all my mails in the /var/vmail/website2.com/info/Maildir/cur folder.

    okay, that worked, so i surfed to my server http://www.server.com/webmail
    Logged in with [email protected], everything works, BUT i can't see all my imported e-mails. :mad:

    So, i did another test.
    I've imported all the mails to my website1.com

    Code:
    user@server:~> ./mb2md.pl -s /tmp/mailbox1 -R -d /var/vmail/website1.com/info/Maildir
    
    once again is surf to my server webmail http://www.server.com/webmail

    Logged in with [email protected]

    What did i found?
    All my mails are imported.

    so my question is
    Is it possible that i can't see my mails when i'm logging in to my website2.com webmail when my domain isn't pointing to my new server yet?
    Or is there another explanation?

    No, that's not the reason. Did you check your mail log? Did you configure any quotas for web site 2?

    Maybe you should try this tutorial to migrate the mail box: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-migrate-mailboxes-between-imap-servers-with-imapsync

    solved

    I've just removed the user and created again, run the mb2md command again
    and it works, strange, but it's solved. :)

    Tnx for the reply.
