importing old mail

[yattamax]

Hi all

I have only old files from an old zimbra account, but I don't have more the old server

How to import in a new account (same mail) the old mail files ?

I have copied the old files in the new account directory (/opt/zimbra/store/$num/$mailboxid), but for the client these don't exits

Thanks

So one account out of your FOSS backup or something right?
So what files do you have, just /opt/zimbra/store or do you have much more of the structure?
If you have more you might be able to get a 2nd box up for easy transfer (imapsync) to your live box.
See this thread if you have just the store folder-in fact see this anyways because it explains why just dropping them into the store doesn't work, zmmailbox addMessage or zmlmtpinject are used instead: /forums/installation/12617-recover-data-mbox-folders.html
