Hello,
I was originally planning on using the migration service provided by cpanel but I have found myself working to a very tight deadline and wasn't given a lot of time to complete the task.
A while ago we had to move the qmail directory on the old server from the /var to the /home as storage space was running low via the qmail config file which has worked without any hitches.
I have set up the new server with Centos and installed cpanel on a trial license whilst I get everything migrated across. I used the tool within cpanel to copy accounts across from the other server and upon first glance it looks as if everything went across okay. After I went in to check one of the largest accounts I noticed there was a problem as the size of the directory was too small. I went in and compared both accounts and noticed some of the email accounts were missing and only held old information.
From what I can see, when the migration tool packaged the accounts it referenced the default directory and not the current email directory hence missing out a lot of new accounts and emails. Is there anyway I can manually specify where the email directory is stored or can anyone advise of the best way to migrate them across manually?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
