Migrating from cPanel to DA - Email Issues IMAP

[designpc]

Hi,

Im truing to migrate from cPanel to DA

On cPanel I have Exim and Courier
On DA I have Exim and WUImap

I have been using the cPanel to DA conversion tool found on this forum, however it will not transfer the mail directory with all my mail in it.

In DA all the mail seems to be stored in

 /var/spool/virtual/domain.com/

and in one single file i.e. user joe_bloggs has a single file in the directory I gave above with all his mail in.

However the cPanel mail in in the /home/domain bit

Is there a better way to transfer the emails from the cPanel server to DA?

Thanks

Hi,

Courier is Maildir format, correct?

If cPanel uses Maildir format, you must upgrade DirectAdmin to Dovecot before restoring the cPanel users.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Yes Courier is maildir.

So how easy is it to upgrade to dovecot, baring in mind I already have about 15 domains on the server.

Thanks

It is quite easy to do.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build update
./build clean
./build update_dovecot
./build dovecot
./build todovecot
