Hi there !
I'm about to switch my 50 users-single domain from  pop3 to IMAP4 .
Now all desktops ( Xp os with Outlook 2003 ) have their .pst files on a
server shared folder . This solution works but now I'd prefer to have
all e-mails resident on server plus giving my users the option to
replicate their database on local client hard disk (local pst file).
Now the question is : how do I move all the e-mails from their pst files
to new IMAP folders?
In order to have a recoverable backup , is it enough to backup , let's
say , daily , /home/vpopmail ?
Many many thanks

I don't know the answer to your question for sure, but I think that would do it.

Yes, your emails are saved on the server in /home/vpopmail/domains/yourdomain.com/youuser/Maildir in Maildir format. So backing that up will do fine if that's all you need.
