Migrate courier to Dovecot

    I'm in the process of testing my migration from ISPCP to iMSCP. I want to use DOVECOT for quota control.


    Is is better to migrate courier to dovecot on my ISPCP install before migrating to iMSCP? Or should I migrate to iMSCP first then migrate to dovecot?


    Thanks,
    Rob

    I notice you can run perl imscp-autoinstall --reconfigure on the iMSCP install. Does this mean it will migrate all the courier mailboxes over to dovecot?

    Hello ;


    First, migrate to i-MSCP and after do the following:


    1. If you migrate to i-MSCP last released version (1.1.0-rc1.4):

    Code
    1. # perl imscp-autoinstall -dr


    --> d shortcut for the --debug option
    --> r shortcut for the --reconfigure option


    2. If you migrate to last Git Master (recommend)

    Code
    1. # perl imscp-autoinstall -dr po


    --> d shortcut for the --debug option
    --> r shortcut for the --reconfigure option with 'po' as argument to be asked only about imap/pop servers.


    Thank you for using i-MSCP

    Hello ;


    For now, any subscribed folders, excepted those that are created by defaults are removed from the subscription file when you update. I've a fix for that and I'll include it in master ASAP.

    Thanks, but after migrating from Courier to dovecot I cannot access to my emailaccounts via Thunderbird and roundcube. I always get a timeout error. How can I fix it?

    restarting dovecot I get following error:

    Code
    1. /etc/init.d/dovecot restartRestarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotIf you have trouble with authentication failures,enable auth_debug setting. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWorkThis message goes away after the first successful login.Fatal: listen(0.0.0.0, 143) failed: Address already in use failed!


    via lsoft + netstat it should work fine..
