Transfer email data

I want to transfer my emails from other hosting to vrtualmin email
How should i do? I download my all emails in Maildir format but where to add or unzip this files that show my data? I found Maildir folder in usermin but I don’t know what should do next?

The is a cli
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/developer/cli/copy_mailbox/

I logged in as each email user and set Fetchmail to pull the mail off the old server as I switched each user over. Time consuming, but it worked well for me.

I haven’t run this before, where should I get the --source I downloaded all the mail in maildir format or each Inbox, send and draft files all are in zip file which is on my system

I check but this program is not available in my system

How should i configure it?

For Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get -y install fetchmail

What information should i fill here to get all the email from other hosting to virtualmin?

The same details that you would enter into an email client program to access the email on the old server.

Server Name = oldserver.com, POP3 or IMAP, port number etc.

You did’nt get what i’m saying i don’t wana fetch the email i want to transfer all the emails to here in virtualmin

I just explained what worked for me.

Have fun.

Randomz did get what you’re saying, and told you how to do it. :man_shrugging:

Fetchmail is a perfectly reasonable way to fetch mail from another server and deliver it to a local user, which is the problem you are trying to solve. There are other ways to solve it, but that is certainly one of them and a pretty good one.

Got it, Let me check and try again
