 of

 I think that I don't understand you:
 1) You have a mail server (NS Mail Server on HP) with your pop3-accounts
 (and
 others features). You must have a directory (with a lot of files (mails))
 per
 pop3-user.
 2) You have to migrate to qmail-vchkpw but you must preserve your old mails
 (mails not readed)
 3) You ask for how to do it

 It's this correct?

You say : YES

The problem with NS-Mail-Server is that put a CR+NL to all the email stored and
qmail-vchkpw don't understand.
Then, you have to translate all the old-email from old-account to the new
directory (the account is the same [EMAIL PROTECTED]),so in NSMS it's place in
/var/nsmail/. and in qmail
/home/vpopmail/domain/domain1.com/user1/Maildir/new.
Once you have move from NSMS to qmail, you have to make a dos2unix command to
all the files. Then do:
recode ibmpc..lat1 * and put the rigth owner:group and permissions that i
postted to the list yesterday. That's all really.

If you don't understand what i'm saying, please tell me and i'll try to explain
you in other way.

 hi all

 iam using Netscape mail server
 due to the cost, i have shifted to Qmail

Nice ... :)
 what is my problem is
 how do i convert the existing mails from netscape mail server to qmail
 server
 if not, how do i ask my existing user to check pull mail from existing mail
 server to here

Maybe you can advice your Netscape server to resend all stored and queued mail
via a relay-server to your qmail-box. That would be the easiest way i think :)

 iam using Netscape mail server
 due to the cost, i have shifted to Qmail

 my qmail setup running fine, i have setup like this

 Qmail+vpopmail+mysql+qmailadmin+sqwebmail


about 2 weeks ago I migrated from Netscape Message Server

for that a little program were created to parse LDIF-file which could be
created by netscape export.
all accounts were succesfully processed  (including passwords in SHA-1
format).

but messages...  their were leaved on old server. from where they could be
taken by users by themselves, i dont know how to resolve this
automatically.

What I did when I had to do something similar was to compile vpopmail with
clear text passwords and learn passwords, as well as using MySQL.  I wrote a
little perl script that would query the MySQL db once every hour or so, and
collect all the users who had a clear text password set and weren't the
postmaster.  From that, I built a config file for fetchmail, then ran
fetchmail against the old server (still running), and reinjected the mail
into the new qmail server.

Good Luck!

Great chance

 server to qmail server

I got it. NS-Mail Servers adds a DOS (NL+CR) to the messages. You need to
pass-trought a shell to converts. That's what i did:
Notes:
01.zip=all the mail from one client compress for get from old mail server to
new mail server
199*=all the mail from year 1999 (NS-MailServer nomenclator)
200*=all the mail from year 2000 (NS-MailServer nomenclator)
The shell:
## First, I compress all the old email from my client in a zip file called
01.zip and put it in /root/cambio
if [ -r /root/cambio/01.zip ] ; then
## Copy to the right place
cp /root/cambio/01.zip /home/vpopmail/domains/aac.es/user1/Maildir/new
cd /home/vpopmail/domains/aac.es/a.calandria/Maildir/new
## Uncompress it
unzip 01
## Convert (that's equal to dos2unix command)
recode ibmpc..lat1 199* 200**
rm *.zip
## Put the rigth permission and owner:group
chown vpopmail:vchkpw 199* 200*
chmod 600 199* 200*
fi
## That's all folks

and so, continue to all your user.
I hope that you understand me (sorry about my english).
Please, notify me successfully changes.

Aside from parsing Netscape's message format (no idea what would be
involved
in this), you could of course simply fetch the data over pop3 and
save
it in the maildir of the user. If you don't have cleartext passwords
available, then you could have vpopmail log them to some file
(although I guess you'd need to patch it in order to do this).





Best regards,
 Gabriel
