Export/Import Mailboxes

[Rickard]

Hi!

Does someone know an easy way of exporting mailboxes from one OS X server and importing them on another?

I need to do something similar. Basically, my entire server was destroyed while away for the holidays.

I’m in the process of rebuilding, but since email is semi-critical, I decided to bring it back up first. Problem is, now matter how I tried, I couldn’t get the old mail stores (directories, whatever) working. So I brought up the Cyrus/Postfix part and allowed it to create the new mail directories for the 3 users and decided to investigate ways to put the old mail back.

I can’t really find anything, though. I find plenty of utilities to convert from mbox to mdir, but nothing the other way around. (I thought that might be a simple solution…converting to mbox and then using Mail.app to put the email over.)

Any suggestions on what I can do? Thanks.
