Hi, I am planning on running ISPConfig to host email for a few users and i have a couple of questions on how to properly administer the mailboxes. I am concerned that i am going to grow larger that my capacity to store emails and wanted to know if there was an efficient way to store the mail in a separate location when the boxes become too full, where i can access it and restore mail from it if neccessary. Im kinda new to linux also so im learning as i go so i will appreciate all the help anyone can offer. Thanks, Luis
If you install ISPConfig with maildir support, every mail is in a separate file. You can copy them by filedate to another location and copy them back if you need.
Thanks till, Im kind of new to linux so can you point me to where the files are stored in the filesystem? Thanks rodriglm
That depends on the settings of the email account. If you have a domain www.mydomain.com and a user web1_tom and dont change the default website location, the emails are stored in: /home/www/www.mydomain.com/users/web1_tom/Maildir/ and subdirectories.
