KB08092301 Migrating from another mailserver in the Mailtraq email server

You can mirate readily from most other mailservers, such as MS Exchange, provided they offer an IMAP service themselves.

Migration method

Download and unzip 'imapcopy' from the following link - IMAPCopy is a tool to copy messages for multiple users from one IMAP server to another.

http://resources.mailtraq.com/files/imapcopy.zip

This contains the executable and imapcopy.cfg

Step 1.

You need to create the matching accounts in Mailtraq. This can be done by exporting a list of users in Exchange into a .csv and using the User import wizard in Mailtraq

Step 2.

Then you need to edit imapcopy.cfg as follows :-

Set "SourceServer" to the address of the Exchange IMAP server
Set "DestServer" to the address of the Mailtraq server

At the end of imapcopy.cfg you will find the list of instructions in the form of:

copy "sourceuser" "sourcepassword" "destuser" "destpassword"

Simply use the normal 'search and replace tools' in any text editor, such as MS Notepad, to convert the .csv into this sort of format.

Step 3.

Once the file is set up, run imapcopy.exe with imapcopy.cfg in the same directory.

Tip:

Start with just one User to confirm you have the configuration correct.
