Hi, Thought I'd tap into the collective whisdom to help solve this one.
A few friends and I run a Linode VPS running Debian stable. We're using Postfix for our MTA, with virtual mailboxes in Maildir format. We offer Squirrelmail as one of our webmail platforms.
Another friend has a website and Email system hosted on a Windows hosting platform. The Email uses a system called SmarterMail. Unfortunately, the web interface for SmarterMail has become more and more difficult for a blind person to use, and so we decided to move her Email from her server to ours. We're also looking at moving her site but it's currently written in Cold Fusion which could cause difficulties ... but I digress.
The new mail has been showing up here for months, and everyone who uses her Email service is very happy with our hosting of her Email. What I want to do now is move the old remaining mail from the old site into the equivalent accounts on the new system. I'm thinking that I could do this using Fetchmail over an IMAP connection (SmarterMail supports IMAP4) and somehow deliver it to the new accounts. Or possibly use some other means to put it into appropriate Maildir folders. The latter would be better, as some of this mail is already saved into folders and it seems silly to require users to resave items to folders for storage when they're already saved like this.
Any thoughts on how to achieve this? Unfortunately, this isn't a *nix system so I can't just log in and copy the files, I need to use Email protocols to get the mail and then do something with it, and I'm not really sure where to start.
Thanks, Geoff. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
