Please, I have a copy of the admin@fusioit.com email folder that came from a CPANEL account and I want to migrate to a webmin, it doesn’t read them by passing them directly and appears without a subject, but from cpanel to cpanel they do work, I just want to add them since they are working, it is a manual migration, I do not have access to the previous hosting because it has already expired.

migracion de mail CPANEL to webmin manual

You could use a temporary cPanel system to restore the data that you have into a functional email account and then use IMAPsync to move mail to your Virtualmin system.

I tried but it stuck halfway. I no longer have an option because they only gave me the folder data. Can’t it be done manually for just one account? I had no problems with the other accounts, it was only with one and it didn’t work because it was a 23 GB tray.

You say that you have the data / email.

You say the data / email works in cPanel

I have outlined a way for you to get the data / email into a temporary cPanel system and then tansfer it to a Virtualmin system via IMAPsync.

Is there any other way to do it?

I tried with IMAPsync but it doesn’t work, it stops halfway, it exits the process, where can I see the logs to be able to display them?

Your are using command line version? Not

So should I go back to cPanel so Dovecot can interpret my emails? I’d rather pay for the cPanel license. Thank you very much.

I have to pay 120 euros to transfer a single 16 GB tray. Incredible.

I guess this is the charge that Mailbox Imapsync Online make ? @stefan1959 is saying not to use this service but do it manually from the command line where I can not see a cost involved.

Plus its alot quicker using CLI.

Are you really using Webmin and not Virtualmin, too? Virtualmin is our project that provides a web hosting control panel comparable to cPanel. Webmin is a general purpose systems management UI. It doesn’t setup mail or anything else in any way that would make sense to say “mail migration to Webmin”.

Virtualmin can import cPanel backups, including email. But, that assumes you’re migrating the whole domain with website, users, etc. Virtualmin can’t import just email from a cPanel backup.

If you only need the mail for one account, there’s a wide variety of ways to go about it.

What format mail spool does your cPanel server use? If Maildir, just copy the user’s Maildir using literally any tool that copies files. scp or rsync, for example.

If it’s something other than Maildir, it’ll have to be converted to Maildir. imapsync is one way to do it.

imapsync logs are in the same folder/path where you run it. for every imapsync run, there’s a new log with date/time..

I apologise for not being clear - the IMAPsync script is free. There is no charge to install it on your server. I had urged you to use this free script because that’s the script I use for many mailbox migrations.

I have no idea about any service which charges money for this script or its use; I have never used such a service.
