Importing and INBOX's

[cPanelKyle]

Hello,

I have used the Alabanza script to import my accounts into CPanel. Let's say one of the domains I imported was called foobar.com with the username of foo.

1. In /home/foobar/mail I have a directory called 'foo' and a directory called 'foobar.com' with a subdirectory in there called 'foo'. Both the foo directories contain a 'inbox' file. The inbox file in /home/foobar/mail/foo contains all my old E-Mail that was imported in by the script. The inbox file in /home/foobar/mail/foobar.com/foo contains all new E-Mail that was sent after the transfer/DNS was cut over. When I open Horde, it is pulling up the new E-Mail and not the old. Where is the inbox file suppose to be and how can I get both of the files combined? I don't quite understand why it imported my messages in /home/foobar/mail/foo?

2. Who has to have ownership in the mail directory? Is it foo:foo or foo:mail?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is pretty simple to fix as long as the old file is in mbox format. Do the following in the user or root shell:

cat /path/to/old/inbox/file >> /path/to/new/inbox/file

Perms & own within the mail directory:

domain.com directory :: user.mail / 755
POP username inside :: user.mail / 750
inbox file inside :: user.mail / 660
