How to copy/move mails from cPanel to myVesta

[T4B]

hello how can move cpanel mails to vestacp webmail ?

[myVesta]

You can import the whole cpanel backup - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=63

But there is another solution.
cPanel is using the same maildir format for emails, so you can even create empty email accounts in myVesta (this is mandatory), and then simply copy those mail files from cPanel to myVesta server (destination folder will be: /home/user/mail/domain.com/emailusername/ )
After that, just delete dovecot caching files:

In your SSH, as root, run:

For specific email accounts:

Code: Select all

user=''
domain=''

Code: Select all

sudo find /home/$user/mail/$domain/emailusername/ -type f -name 'dovecot*' -delete

For the whole domain:

Code: Select all

sudo find /home/$user/mail/$domain/ -type f -name 'dovecot*' -delete

Then restart dovecot:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl restart dovecot

At the end, you have to fix the permissions:

Code: Select all

user='myVestaUser'
find /home/$user/mail/ -type d -exec chown $user:mail {} \;
find /home/$user/mail/*/ -type d -exec chown $user:mail {} \;
find /home/$user/mail/*/ -type f -exec chown $user:mail {} \;

Instead of the user, insert the username of the account on which emails are located.

Code: Select all

sudo find /home/user/mail/domaim.com/emailusername/ -type f -name 'dovecot*' -delete
