    Hi

    I am going to retire my old server that I have been using, It is a LAMP using the perfect server setup 14.04LTS. I am looking at a new machine and looking to use the perfect server setup 16.04LTS.
    The only thing that I would like to move over is the actual mail that is on the server.
    The new server will have the same users/password/email addresses as the current one.
    How can I do this?
    Regards

    You can import ISPConfig 3 E-Mail on the new server and copy /var/vmail to the new server. Or use the migration-tool.

    Hi

    Thank you for your response, I don't have ISPconfig installed, just a straight up Perfect Server 14.04. So I will copy the folder you mentioned.

    Where do I find this migration tool?

    Copy your mails, create maiilboxes, domains, whatever on the new server. That's all.
    You can't use the migration-tool if you have no cp (like ispconfig, plesk) on your old server
