Importing multiple email accounts

[mijelh]

I recently installed plesk on a CentOS server, and I'm planning to migrate some web sites to it.
My first problem is email: I have hundred of email accounts, and my previous hosting had no control panel at all, so there's no "export" option. However, I wrote an script and got the username and address of every user -passwords will be reset- but I can't figure out how to import that data to Plesk. Any ideas?

If there's no way to do that in Plesk and I have to -somehow- do it via a shell script, will plesk recognize all the accounts, and will the webmail work?

Thank you very much.

The problem is that usernames are different from email addresses. Plesk seems to be unable to handle that.

Plesk CP creates a single object for each mailbox based on email address.
So, even if in previous system each mailbox has its username and email address, only last object can be imported to Plesk CP with a command provided above; you can also write a shell script using that command for bulk email creation.
