I've attempted to move mail from one hard disk to another. I had a
mail server up and running for months but after trying to fix a problem
I had with fetchmail it stopped working (in terms of sending and
receiving mail). I figured since I wanted to move it to a larger hard
drive anyway I'd just do a fresh install on a new hard drive and copy
the mail across. I'm using the same hardware so I couldn't run both at
once and rsync the mail across so I got a working install going and
recreated the accounts I have on the the old hard drive than copied the
mail over with the old hard drive sitting in a usb external hdd case.
  At first it looked like it worked as I could see all the mail I used
to have in my in boxes in the in boxes of the new server but when I try
to view  subfolders I'm told I cannot view the subfolder as it either
doesn't exist or it needs to be subscribed to.
 I copied everything across from the /var/vmail/ folders on my old hdd
(including the "subscriptions" files) so everything should be there that
was on the old hdd.

I'm a novice so I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Was that the wrong
method? Is there some other place I need to update the subscriptions so
it finds these folders?
