Backing up mail accounts without full access to mailserver
- by Agos
Hi everybody.
I'm in the process of migrating some stuff from a (crappy) hosting. Files were easy with SSH access, but mail is giving me some thoughts.
This is the situation:
qmail server, no ssh access
I own postmaster account
accounts are accessible via web interface or POP3
I'm interested in transferring emails, but if whole accounts can be transferred it'd be better.
Being POP3 I'm fairly confident every message has been downloaded, but of course I'd like to download the whole thing to be safer.
Right now I have this in mind:
Enter in web admin
Change each account's password (it's only a dozen or so accounts so still feasible)
Send new password to user telling him please not to change it
getmail or something like that
put on new IMAP server in some way (which I still haven't planned)
But I feel there should be a better way to do this. Is there?
Thanks in advance!
