Hi,

I am in the process of transferring domains from one DA server to another.
The new server is running Dovecot, the old server is not.
Does anyone know if there will be any issues with the mail accounts being transferred, and if so can anything be done about it.

Thanks
 
The best way is if you can convert the old machine before you move the domains. We've always done it that way.

We also have a testbed machine we can rebuild, so we can rebuild it with mbox, restore the domains, convert the box to Maildir, and backup and restore on the new server.

There is a script somewhere on these forums to convert just one mailbox, but you'd have to run it on each mailbox.

unfortunatly I don't have root on the old box, and I don't think that dovecot will get installed.

rather than convert users individually would running
PHP:
./build todovecot
have any effect on users already using dovecot?


Thanks
