That should not pose any real problems :)
You`re right. ;-)
We used a cross-link cable between the two machines to transfer the
data over their gigabit link. Both systems had three 10k rpm SCSI
disks in hardware RAID 5 which pushed data at around 20 mb/s. That
took around 20 minutes.
Now for

Hi List,
what do you think is the best way to migrate (to a new maschine) round about
3 mboxes (Qpopper) with an amount of 43Gigs data, to maildir format
(Dovecot).
I think there are two ways:
1.
- stop services (smtp and pop3) on the old maschine
- copy the mboxes to the new maschine
- run

You`re right, if I use rsync the smtp service on the old maschine could be
active when copying the mboxes.
Without rsync a loss of emails is possible.
I think you mean 'POP' or 'IMAP' rather than 'SMTP', but yes.
Hmm let`s see, maybe I u

Hi Torsten,
You can try installing an IMAP daemon on the old box and use a tool like
imapsync to copy existing e-mails to the new box. This will allow you to
reduce downtime to the user whose mailbox is being copied at that point
in time.
While this goes on, you may need a POP3/IMAP proxy l
