Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1537

Impacted versions

  • Modoboa: 1.10.5
  • installer used: No
  • Webserver: Apache

My aim is to import data from postfixadmin (with maildir structure) to modoboa but i cannot find the postfixadmin 'maildir' attribute on modoboa database. It seems that Modoboa does not manage received mails through maildir structure but only through mailboxes, unless the use of Dovecot. Is it correct?

How can I move from Postfixadmin, in maildir style, to Modoboa?

Thank you.

@8Cris1 You should take a look at those plugins: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa-pfxadmin-migrate. Modoboa does not deal with mailboxes on the filesystem, it's dovecot's work. The maildir attribute is hardcoded in dovecot SQL configuration.
