Migration from maildir

[evertonxvieira]

Hello,

I have an old mail server with postfix usind maildir.

I've just installed the Open Source version 5.0 on an Ubuntu System.

I want to migrate those accounts to the new server. I'm trying to use the script int the wiki page ( User Migration - Zimbra :: Wiki ).

I transfered my old machine's home dir to this new server to use the script, i've create 3 accounts just to see the script working, then I entered in the user e-mail to check if the migration worked, but something strange is happening. The script creates a new FOLDER in the user e-mail named IMPORT, but i can't see no mail message in there. It is empty.It seems like the migration tool failed...

Aneyone could help me?

Thanks a Lot

The script looks like it writes stdout to /tmp/tmp.txt, what do you see in that file? Also what does IMPORT equal to in your copy of the script?

A second look at that script - I don't see where it's creating the Zimbra Users, so i think it's assuming you've already done that before running the script. Did you do this, and do the users match to what the script is using ($user@$domain)

In /tmp/tmp.txt i can see only the "createFolder /Import"

This is ok, 'caus it's create that folder in user mailbox, but the problems is that it don' import the messages to that folder. The folder IMPORT in user's mailbox is empty.

Of course i created the users. The scripts don' create any users.

You have to create the accounts to migrate: "The first step in migrating users is to create the accounts" (from Zimbra Wiki)

Hi evertonxvieira,

This is ok, 'caus it's create that folder in user mailbox, but the problems is that it don' import the messages to that folder. The folder IMPORT in user's mailbox is empty.

Hmm Okay, log file doesn't have what we need, let's try another approach:

Can you change:

#!/bin/bash

to

#!/bin/bash -x

and see what the script output shows ?

+ domain=dominio.br
+ IMPORT=/Import
++ sed 's/\///'
++ ls -d1 adalberto/ adelia/ adelma/
++ sed 's/\///'
+ for user in '`ls -d1 */|sed s/\\\///`'
+ echo

+ echo 'User adalberto'
User adalberto
+ echo

+ echo 'createFolder /Import'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m adalberto@dominio.br
mailbox: adalberto@dominio.br, size: 0 B, messages: 0, unread: 0
mbox adalberto@dominio.br> 258
mbox adalberto@dominio.br> ++ find adalberto -maxdepth 10 -type d -name cur
++ find adalberto -maxdepth 10 -type d -name new

Hrm it doesn't look like 'find' is returning anything. Would you mind trying that manually?
