Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1610

Impacted versions

  • Modoboa: 1.12.2
  • installer used: Yes
  • Webserver: Nginx

Could someone point me to the storage directory for e-mail with this setup? I'm testing and will need to migrate ~50 e-mail accounts from an existing e-mail server and need to figure out the best way to move the old e-mail over.

Thanks.

Hi,

You don't need to know the location of the storage. You should use doveadm to migrate from one server to another : https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync

Fair enough for the migration. However, in this case, I also want to store the e-mail on an NFS and mount it from the e-mail server; so I still need the mail storage location. Is it /srv/vmail?

Could perhaps someone tell me HOW to synchronise with doveadm sync if we're talking about a modboa setup?
Suppose I want to migrate only one mailbox - should I use -u or -m?
