[MrSnaKe]

Hi Guys,

I created the backup from old mail server. Now I have installed

Release 6.0.2_GA_1912.UBUNTU8_64 UBUNTU8_64 FOSS edition.

and I have backup folder from old mail server

I create the same account at the ZCS and question - what is the best solution to restore this data?

The simplest way to backup the FOSS version is to just take a copy of /opt/zimbra, it sounds like you are using one of the various scripts out there that backs up per account. If so, which one did you use, as the process for restoring will vary depending on that.

Also, from what version of zimbra was your backup taken?

My backup is not from zimbra.

Its backup from the FreeBSD mail server based on exim

You could use IMAPSYNC to get the mail from one server to another.

Yes but I have not the server, a have only the data.

I have only the folder:

Idea how to restore the letters?

That doesn't make it easy, check this wiki article for zmlmtpinject or any other method that might suit you better. You should also search the forums for further details on the use of zmlmtpinject.
