    Hi,

    My old server used to run postfix/courier-imap. I have a lot of emails stored on my old server that I need to transfer to my new server that runs cpanel.

    Can anyone give me any clues as to how to go about this ?

    Thanks

    Perhaps the easiest way is to use Thunderbird, setup an IMAP account for the old account, and one for the new account in Thunderbird, and then just copy/move the emails from the old to the new. The old server will deliver the emails to Thunderbird, and Thunderbird will transfer the emails to the new server.

    Go on, have a guess
    If you're moving from one courier-imap installation to another, you should just be able to copy the maildir directories to their equivalent in /home/account/mail/domain.com/address/ tree after creating the mail account in cPanel.

    If not, then you can either follow jandafields route, or use a method I used recently to do just this with a very handy IMAP migration script:
