[Dovecot] Migrating a dovecot setup from one server to another
Hi All, I have a server with a dovecot + postfix setup and unfortunately the server is EOL'd. I have built a new ubuntu server out and I'm in the process of migrating everything over. In migrating the dovecot setup over, this is the list of items I have done: install dovecot, postfix, etc on the new server copy configuration files over copy /var/spool and /var/mail over Is there anything else I need to consider before switching MX records to point to the new server? Thanks, James
Apparently Analagous Threads
- Postfix on one host/Dovecot (mailboxes) on another - How?
- Dual Dovecot setup
- test emails did not arrive at SMTP server : after dovecot installation
- dovecot created mailbox empty - all mail forwarded to main MX server and cyrus-dovecot conflict
- Transition from one server to another.
