Good day all,
I've finally acquired a "new" machine to house our current install of
the toaster, installed CentOS 7 and ran all available updates, and
rounded up the preparatory files for the install. I will most likely
install qmailtoaster and take it on a test drive before migrating our
I am in a similar situation. I am running on a Centos 5 with Courier and would
like to move to a Centos 7 setup with Dovecot. I have a mix of pop and imap
clients.
What would be the best way to convert the mailboxes to Dovecot after I copy
them to the new machine?
Thanks,
Rick

I don't believe any conversion is necessary. You may just have to
resubscribe to the folders.

Hello
I did use the convert script
courier-dovecot-migrate.pl
# ./courier-dovecot-migrate.pl -help
Usage: maildir-migrate [options]
Options:
--convert Perform conversion
--quiet Silence output
--overwrite Overwrite existing files
--recursive Recursively
Hi Sean,
Off the top of my head I do the following:
On the QMT/COS7 Install make the MariaDB admin password the same as on
your old machine.
1) Install rsync on both machines
2) Make ssh work without password
# How to make the below rsync ssh command work without a password
# exec
1) I think I install rsync when QMT is installed, maybe its done by
default on minimal install, not sure.
2) Yes for spamassassin rsync from /etc/mail/spamassassin to
/etc/spamassassin this changed with QMT on CentOS 6
3) I suppose that the admin password does not have to be the same. I
1) From looking at the install docs, I think rsync is included when QMT
is installed, but it is not part of default install as I just checked.
2) I will make the necessary adjustments when ready.
3) Suppose we'll find out, as I haven't found anything regarding this
admin pass.
Thanks again,
Eric,
That list looks good, except:
/etc/spamassassin should be /etc/mail/spamassassin, unless it's
different on CentOS7.
I'm unsure as to the MariaDB admin password on the current machine as my
predecessor set it up.
I will poke around my docs and see if I can find anything. And, I
You don't absolutely HAVE to convert, but here's the wiki anyway:
