• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

I own 500+ sendmail account on 2 servers and want to switch them on Plesk 9.2.2. I want know if they exist, somewhere, some scrypt to transfer them or is exist anyway to do it ?

Thank you
 
Suppouse you mean transferring form sendmail to qmail format.
I made it some months ago; the main difference is that qmail sets each received mail in a separate folder meanwhile sendmail is a single file which adds new mails to the end.
Found there are several tools to break the sendmail file into each folder but the one which worked for me was 'mb2md' in perl. (google it, there are several sources).
There's no automated way to do this - or at least didn't find any - you have to break the mail file and then move the output into the owner's folder, so ask the users to empty their mail files as the less you have to transfer the better.
Something else to consider is that file ownerships are also different is qmail (popuser:popuser)
Hope this helps.

saludos,
 
I'm ok with the mailbox migrate parts. My real problem is with the user and password part. I don't want to recreate all user manually then re set their password.

Is exist anyway to take the password in /etc/shadow and put it in plesk account table ?
 
No, sorry; at least I didn't find it.
I didn't have much time to migrate so what I did was recreate users and set a general passwd (12345) letting know site owners how each user could log in and each one of them reset their own passwd.

saludos,
