I’ve migrating my accounts from a Windows 2003 server, using Mail Enable to handle emails and powered by helm control panel. Since most of the users requirements are mostly linux supported. i’ve migrated the server to a CentOS Server, and is running a Cpanel Control panel.

I’ve been scavenging all over the net for a fast way to do it but to no avail. Then came the emails where problem started to be realized. I also need to copy users email to the new server!

Migrating from one linux box to another is quite an easy task, but this is quite different. So again, i then tried to google if there are any information on how to migrate mailenable mails to exim, since cpanel uses exim. but again, to no avail. So i’ll have to figure it out myself.

tried opening Mail Enables post offices and noticed that it resembles the courrier MTA, so i assumed mail enable uses courrier, which i didn’t bother realizing before.

So, what i did was to copy the mails from the Inbox folder of a certain user, and pasted them to the “cur” folder in the linux box corresponding to the users mail directory.

gladly it works, unfortunately for me, i’ll have to do that on each and every email account on the server. This is bad.
