I have several accounts on a cPanel server that I need to move to a DirectAdmin server. I tried using lordph1l's script found here:
http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2247&highlight=cpanel+convert

That seems to handle most things, but it's lacking a few. Notably:
-email aliases do not transfer
-MySQL databases are flaky - sometimes work, sometimes not

My cPanel server is still using mbox, so I would need to convert the mbox to maildir as well.

If you can update this script and make it work please send me an email or a PM with cost information. I'm ready to move in the very near future.
 
Does the cPanel conversion script create a DirectAdmin backup? If so, then the latest DirectAdmin versions do automatic conversions from mbox to Maildir.

I wish I had known that. I just finished using the cPanel tool to convert all of those accounts over to maildir.

After converting all of the cPanel accounts to maildir I'm able to convert the backups to directadmin backups and they restore <almost> fine. The only thing missing as far as I can tell is mail forwarding. I don't have that many accounts to move over and I need to get this done quick, so I'm just handling the mail forwarders manually.
