I see what you're trying to do. I do 99% of the conversions/migrations between mail systems here at Inter7, so I know your problem.
Try writing a script: * Get the next username * Look up old directory * Look up new directory * Copy files You can get their old directory from the old vpasswd files, and do a vuserinfo | grep home | awk to get their current directory. Hope that helps. dev wrote: > > does anyone have or know of a way to cp -R user/Maildir/* to > new/location/user/Maildir/ > > Is this possible without have to do it manually? > > We had a email system up forever using qmail+vpopmail etc. But the old > system used vpasswd files and such. > I made a new system using MySql and spamassassin ... > But I had to add accounts before transferring it over.
