Question mail enable email migration to Linux plesk

[junaida786]

Hi,

Is there is any option/tool to migrate email data from mailenable to plesk linux.

 

[24x7cloudservermanagement]

Mail enable is a windows based email client. Linux OS do not support Mail enable.

IS there is any method to migrate mailenable emails to plesk linux through imap sync or any other way

I dont think is any standard procedure for the query have mentioned, It has to be done manually and there are some pre-configurations that needs to be done before the migration.

Hello, junaida786!
We`ve published update for Plesk Migrator(2.2.2) which contains feature that allows to migrate mail content between Windows and Linux servers. All you need is form file with hosting description and run copy-mail-content. See details in Migration Guide, chapter Migrating from Custom Hosting on https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/17.0/

Example of file with description in yaml format:

# This example describes how to perform mail migration by IMAP
subscriptions:
    -
        # Mail will be migrated to specified subscription. If it does not exist - it will be created.
        name: mail.tld
        mail_service:
            # Here we describe mail users as usual:
            mail_users:
                # Simple example, when you migrate mail account that has the same e-mail and password
                # both on source and target servers.
                -
                    # Specify IP address of the source mail server.
                    mail_ip: 192.168.1.1
                    # Account name - everything before '@' in e-mail address.
                    # If account does not exist - it will be created.
                    name: sales
                    # Password of the mail account on both source and target server.
                    # It will be used to:
                    # - create mail account on the target server
                    # - connect by IMAP to the source server
                    # If you need different passwords for source and target servers - check the next mail
                    # account example below.
                    # Correct password is required to perform mail migration by IMAP.
                    password: qweqwe
                # Example, when you migrate mail account that has different e-mail or password on source
                # and target servers.
                -
                    # Specify IP address of the source mail server.
                    mail_ip: 192.168.1.2
                    # Target account name - everything before '@' in e-mail address.
                    # If account does not exist - it will be created.
                    name: admin
                    # Password of the mail account on the target server.
                    password: qweqwe
                    # Here we specify that we want to migrate mail
                    # from "user@another-domain.tld" to "admin@mail.tld"
                    # (if that option is not specified, migration
                    # from "admin@mail.tld" to "admin@mail.tld" is performed).
                    source_full_name: user@another-domain.tld
                    # Password of mail account on the source server.
                    # Correct password is required to perform mail migration by IMAP.
                    source_password: 123qwe

The same example in json format:

{
  "subscriptions": [
    {
      "name": "mail.tld",
      "mail_service": {
        "mail_users": [
          {
            "mail_ip": "192.168.1.1",
            "name": "sales",
            "password": "qweqwe"
          },
          {
            "mail_ip": "192.168.1.2",
            "name": "admin",
            "password": "qweqwe",
            "source_full_name": "user@another-domain.tld",
            "source_password": "123qwe"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
