My current e-mail server has both SMTP and IMAP running on the same machine. I'm building a new IMAP server on a different machine that will ultimately have ten times the capacity. I'm looking for a way to migrate mailboxes from the old server to the new one without shutting down the whole service for an extended period of time.
Can I use the old server as both a front end and one of the back ends for a murder configuration, with the new server as the second back end? Will that allow me to migrate mailboxes at my convenience? How do I prevent a port conflict between the IMAP server and the proxy on the old server? Do I have to run the same Cyrus version on both machines? Currently, the old server runs cyrus-imapd-2.1.14 and the new one runs cyrus-imapd-2.3.6. Is there anything that won't work in this configuration? -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking- ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
