from fedora running citadel to ubunto running zimbra

[get2guy]

hello all.

i got a new job, and they are using a fedora citadel mail server.

the server seems to have allot of problems and beside that the citadel web interface is not so comfortable.

we decided to move to ubuntu server 6 with free zimbra.
i installed this kind of server before but only a new one without the need of data migration.

can someone explain me how to export from our current citadel and import to zimbra?

when i searched the web i didn't found anything about this particular action.

thanks in advance

guy.

I would recommend taking a look at Guide to imapsync - Zimbra :: Wiki. imapsync is an amazing tool that does a great job of migrating mail between different servers that support IMAP. If you don't know the passwords for users on the old server and don't want to just set them to a generic password you can try using the authuser option. Have a look at this post for an example usage.

This will not migrate calendars or contacts though. To migrate contacts the easiest way would be if you can get a .csv of the contacts some how and then import that into Zimbra.
