Hi,

This is for the Open Source edition of Zimbra 4.5.3 on Ubutuntu 6 (zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.UBUNTU6.tgz)

Having backed up one users mailstore, I'm trying to use the zmmailbox command to import it onto another server. zmmailbox interactive (as below) works for me but crashes before it completes importing all the messages. This seems to be a resource problem...

I would like to create a script to import messages one at a time into the mailbox which hopefully will work around this problem. Looking at the docs, --help and forum I just can't figure out the syntax.

As the zimbra user here's the interactive command that I run:

zimbra@myhost: zmmailbox
mbox> authenticate myuser@myhost myuserspass
.. returns information on the myuser mailbox size, messages, status
mbox myuser@myhost> addMessages INBOX ./store/0/5/msg/0

I know that at the command line I can pass

zmmailbox addMessages INBOX ./store/0/5/msg/0/$msg

but how do I perform the user authentication piece? I know that I can authenticate as admin but then changing to the users message store to import the message is unclear

thanks for the help

Mark
