New server

I'm setting up a main new server.
Installed it with Falko's: The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 9.04 [ISPConfig 3]

I created new mail accounts on the new server, the same account I have on the old server. I copied (from a backup) the /var/vmail from the old (still up) server to the new server. But when I login with one of these account on the new server I don't see any mail in the mailbox, how come?

Why not setup a new account and than fetch all mails from old server with fetchmail function?

 

Because I have multiple accounts. And I want to know how to restore them by copying the files back (from a backup) like I did.

 

Maybe the permissions differ? Is this imap or pop3?

 

I don't know anwser.. but interesing question.

 

I use IMAP.

 

I have couple of ISPConfig servers, and i will try to move from one to another and to see if i can access mail on the new accounts.

 

Noob question: What is correct way to change this via command line?

In the folder

for example I have the next accounts:

 

I copied all the mail from the backup to the /var/vmail folder on the new server. I chown the folder /var/vmail as vmail:vmail.

I logged in under my own account rudolf.
I do see a lot of mail in my mailbox but almost all (1794 mails) have

What is the problem?

Any idea what's going on here and/or how to solve it?

The new server is exact same as the "old" server.
Also all accounts are the same.
