    Hi !

    I'm going to migrate ISPConfig 3 from Ubuntu 16 LTS to Debian 9 Stretch.
    During my previous migration I've got problem with mail server identification for e-mail client (Apple Mail).
    For whatever reason it recognized it is as new and loaded large number of old (already read messages) from pop mailboxes (we use Apple Mail on many desktops, so its a real problem).
    How to transfer e-mail server identification from ISPConfig 3 on Ubuntu 16 LTS to Debian 9 Stretch ?
    Is it enough to copy smtpd.key, smtpd.cert /etc/postfix -> /etc/dovecot, and fix permissions?
    Are there any other SSL certificates related to e-mail needed to copy?

    Thanks in advance.

    I guess that should be enough, plus using the same hostname of course.

    OK, thanks.
    POP uses same SSL certificate ?

    Depends on your configuration, but by default, dovecot uses the same ssl cert that postfix uses. So as long as you replace the postfix cert without changing the path, the ssl cert for pop and imap gets changed automatically.

    Dovecot (on Debian) takes these certificates from /etc/postfix, no symlinks needed ?

    Take a look at dovecot.conf file, there you will see which ones are used.
