Migrating users and data to Zarafa

Folder Naming

SME and Zarafa use different folder naming. To enhance migration SME folders should be renamed prior to migration.

drafts > Drafts
junkmail > Junk E-mail
sent-mail > Sent Items
trash > Deleted Items

Zarafa migration whitepaper describes various ways of migrating your users and your data to a Zarafa server.

tar -zxvf imapsync-1.264.tgz
cd ./imapsync-1.264
make install

Perform a user mail sync from SME/IMAP (host1/port1) to Zarafa/IMAP (host2/port2)

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 <username> --password1 <password> --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 <username> --password2 <password>

Example to synchronize a user named 'bob' with password 'bob123' from SME IMAP into Zarafa:

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 bob --password1 bob123 --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 bob --password2 bob123

After syncing is complete, stop zarafa-gateway service and/or edit /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg to meet your needs.
