Yesterday I'vemigrated Dovecot mail archive between two servers using the
procedure below:
1) Createon the new server the same email accounts existing on the old server.
2) Transferthe "tarred" mail folder from the old to the new server.
For testingpurposes, on Outlook 2007 I've deleted a .pst cache file, forcing
the client todownload all emails again.
The switchwas absolutely transparent without any problem. All the emails were
availableand Outlook 2007 noticed no changes.
Can Iconsider this a correct procedure or should I use some tools like Dsync ?
If you do not change the mail storage format (Maildir -> dbox, or
something like that), do not change 32bit -> 64bit, big / little endian
a.s.o.
and if you make sure the old mailbox is not accessed, while you copy the
data over,
it should work :-)
In fact, I use "rsync".
