    Hi all,

    Attempting to move a bunch of mail (1.8 Gb and 50 users) from ASIP 6.3 to OS X Server 10.3.4 and I can get the users across mostly (nothing I can’t fix with judicious use of Perl and a large hammer) but the migration utility totally refuses to even touch the mail database. It does nothing and logs nothing.

    Anyone had a similar problem? I’ve checked that the database is OK using the ASIP tools, I’ve checked it from the ASIP mail server.

    I have tried this migration tool at several sites we have upgraded to OS X server. The mail import has NEVER worked!!. Instead, we use fetchmail on the os x server to pop the mail off the old ASIP server and store in local accounts on the OS X server machine. the only downside to this is that we can only get the contents of the users inboxes and no other folders they ahve created themselves. Check the fetchmail man page for details on how to use.
    There may be some way of also getting the users other mail folders, but at this stage I don’t know of any (but i havn’t looked for any either).
