LCRM — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:48:35 +0000

If you are setting up a new Kerio mail server and want to use imapsync to port across your emails, this following command helps to re-locate your email folders from the existing server into a nice way on your tidy new Kerio server. imapsync --syncinternaldates --subscribe --ssl1 --ssl2 --authuser1 admin --user1 user1 --passfile1 /home/user1/.passwordfile --user2 olduser1 --passfile2 /home/user1/.oldpasswordfile --sep2 / --prefix2 "INBOX/" That should nicely transfer all existing emails into their respective folders underneath your new Kerio Inbox folder. replace admin; user1; user2; /home/user1/{.passwordfile, .oldpasswordfile} with your details. Enjoy Costa
