Hi Jake...

I followed your instructions, but they yielded the same results. Then I had an idea and I modified the '/var/qmail/users/assign' file.  I stopped Qmail, then manually changed the  UID:GID  numbers for one of the domains mentioned there, from 7797:7797 to  89:89, saved the file, then I executed the 'qmail-newu' command followed by the queue-repair python script you mentioned. After that I restarted Qmail and....
voilà!!! I was able to login to webmail as well as Qmailadmin for that domain.... just like that!

Now... does this mean there was something I missed earlier during the backup process or while restoring? What do you think went wrong for me? Should I follow the same procedure for the rest of the domains or is there any other procedure?

Coming to your second question... while setting up QMT on the new server I had set the mysql password to a new value (say ... 'xyz1234'), while the existing mysql password in my old server was something else (say... 'abcd6789'). Later on, after I found the problems (which
I had explained in my earlier e-mail) after I had restored the backup from the old server to the new one, I thought may be the mysql password on both the machines should be same. So then I run the command to change the mysql password in the new machine to the same value as was there in the old server (abcd6789).

I hope I have been able to define the problems clearly this time. :)

Regards,
Supriyo Banerjee

I'm still a little unclear. Is your new machine using the old password (SsEeCcRrEeTt), or did you run the commands and change it? I understand the old machine was using a different password.
