Hello everyone, Thanks for your suggestions. I have shell access on both servers and tarred up the messages, copied, and untarred them. I did have to adjust user and group settings, but that wasn't to difficult. Thanks. Dave. On 11/6/11, John G. Heim <jheim@math.wisc.edu> wrote:
I just did this Friday. I used rsync. But you could also use tar. Tar up the old mail directory, copy the tar ball over to the new machine, and untar it. Of course, you have to make sure the same users with the same uid numbers exist on both machines. That's probably the only tricky part.

Hello,
I've got two imap servers one old, one new. The old one has messages on it that i'd like to get on to the new one for several users. Both servers are using open source software, postfix for the MTA and Dovecot for the imap server. If anyone knows how to pull this off I'd like to know about it. I would try copying them,but doubt it's that simple, I want to preserve their dates, times, and attributes.
Thanks. Dave.
