Hi,

Im slowly but surely getting rid of my awful cPanel server, account by account to my DA server. The time has come to move my own personal email accounts over.

The situation:

I upgraded the mail server to dovecot from whatever it was using before, as mbox I believe was rubbish, so now im using maildir now, all the transfers seem to have gone fine so far.

Apart from my email accounts, I have a lot of sub folders within the maildir, and when using the cPanel to DA script that converts the cPanel backup files to DA backup files, it only seems to pick up the top level folders an not any below....?

So my question is.... is there a way to manually do it?

Thanks
 
The conversion script DOES NOT convert mail from cpanel to da. I have used the conversion script on many occassion. Not once has it moved my mail. Knowing this and expecting this i dont rely on the conversion script to move mail.

Once you have restored the backup go into the control panel for the site and delete and recreate the email address to ensure the proper folder gets created.

Thats all there is too it.
