I did upgrade to v.40 and had issues with DNS. I then installed a new mailinabox from scratch on new IP address and created everything again manually. (Users, Aliases, and Custom DNS)
Everything is now working.
But I have all my email history in the previous server.
What is the best way to get my old emails in the new server for each mailbox?
I found /home/user-data/mail/mailboxes/(domain)/(mailbox) but not sure if I need to copy all files or just copy cur, new, tmp files in the same directory in NEW server.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks for reply.
I did follow the instructions for upgrade and everything seemed to be working until I discovered that custom DNS was not working and all my A records where not routing correctly. I tried to delete them and recreate but nothing fixed my issue.
I then opted for creating a new box and manually creating the mailboxes, alias, and custom dns.
Right now I want to restore the emails only and not any other settings to the new box. The procedure in the link provided would restore and overwrite custom DNS settings and I do not want to touch that.
Did you upgrade and then re-run backups and then restore as the instructions stated? It’s strange that the restore did not work.
Either way, for transferring of mailboxes I recommend imapsync or using rsync + ssh.
