backup of email accounts

[curioususer]

is it possible for users to backup email accounts, like it is possible to backup the aliases and filters? Recreating a large number of email accounts can be cumbersome.

If the home directory backup includes that, it is too big to do, as most sites are mostly static. But employees come and go, and need email address changes, so backing that up periodically would be nice.

For extra credit, an option to backup the email folders also would be nice.

You could write a perl script to run as a cron job to back up whatever you select.
