    Does your current Postfix server use maildir and what is the IMAP/POP3 mail server being used with it? Is it Courier or Dovecot? If you use the same IMAP and POP3 mail server on the cPanel machine and the postfix machine has maildir for it, it should be a simple matter of copying the folder and file contents from the existing structure to /home/username/mail/domain.com/emailuser location where username is the cPanel username, domain.com is the domain name, and emailuser is the email account username without the @domain.com portion.

    The best way to handle this would be to create the email accounts in cPanel first, then move the data. This way, you don't have to worry about users or passwords only the email content.

    Good morning,

    I am using IMAP/POP3 and Courier, did tests and data migration will be easy.
    But I need help to migrate the accounts, because I have many domains and manually migrate an overwhelming task. Could you help with this?

    Many Thankss ...

    If you are using Dovecot on both machines, then it is simply a matter of copying the data once the email accounts already exist on the cPanel machine.

    If you are using a control panel that we support for migrating (Plesk, Ensim, DirectAdmin), then we could assist with the migration for you. If you aren't using one of the supported migration control panels, then we can help to answer questions, but we wouldn't be able to perform any of the migration work itself.

    Good afternoon,

    The only interface used in the current server is postfixadmin, nothing more. = [

    Then this would have to be done manually on your end, although we would be happy to answer questions as I have done so far.
