[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, long time user of SM with Dovecot/Postfix/PFAdmin/MySQL virtual domains, always works just puurfect

BUT, my VPS server had hardware fail and operator told me not interested anymore running the service

I'm attempting to re create my mail data etc on 'new' Centos server:

installed Dovecot, installed SM, copied vmail sql, copied /var/vmail/vmail1/sbt.net.au/ve@xxxxxxxxxx/Maildir, attempted to correct owner/perms, etc etc, it partially works, I can login to new server, can see email in main inbasket, but, get on LHS panel(1):
in the SM folders pael I can see my folders listed OK

is it to do with '.' preceding directories names ?
what the best way of dealing with this ?

thanks for any help, pointers, thanks for Squierrel
