Default Migrating old Postfix Mails to Zimbra box

Hi

we have just installed zimbra on our CentOS5.1 box(hosted on virtual invironment) and we are so far happy with what zimbra (open source edition) can do for us.

Now we have old fedora box running postfix as its MTA and we have few hundreds mailbox to migrate. we will appreciate if some one can assist us on this migration process.

Thank you in advance

Hi

we have been trying to migrate user mailbox for some time now but the problem we facing is as below

-we have 110 users mailbox to be migrated
-we do not want to go around and change the user password just to migrate mail box (if we can).
-we basically want that user shouldn't have to do anything to start using zimbra mail server.

will this be possible? on wiki and forum we found some solution which required us to know user password which is somthing we want to avoid if we can.

Thank you in advance for your help

How is the user mail stored on the old server? If it's in MBOX format then I found this script worked well for our migration. Further discussion in this thread.
