Email backup restore problem

[Manos_Gk]

I am trying to backup email from Windows Plesk 12.0.8 and restore it to CentOS Plesk 12.5.30!
Unfortunately migration through migration manager is not possible because I don't have root access on Windows plesk!

Is there any solution to manual restore mail backup?

Hello,

Migration between Windows and Linux is not supported. Only Windows>Windows or Linux>Linux.

Yep, just install a command line tool for mail migration on the CentOS server.

My suggestions for proper CLI tools for mail migration are: larch and imapsync (note: both tools copy mail via the IMAP protocol, mails on the source server are not deleted, as is proper).

Run one of the tools from the command line (at the CentOS server), manually or with a script (if you have many mailboxes)

That is all.

Regards...

PS When it comes to mail migration, disregard all promises and tools on the internet, just use larch or imapsync and you will have a free, troublesome mass mail migration.
