Windows to Linux Migration

Hello,

Been stuck on this for a long time I hope someone here can help...

I have two boxes,

one is win2003 with plesk 8.6
second is centos5 with plesk 9.2

I want to get rid of my windows box because I have no use for asp.net and run only open source programs. But I have over 2gb of emails on the win box running on hmail 4.

So I tried the backup dump.psa and then convert to 9 method using florianJ's instructions. Created a 9 friendly dump folder with all xml files and zips. Copied this to the linux box and using the PMM web GUI I tried to import everything but I get lots of errors with ssl-html and iis-pool tags generated by the xml.

These are fixable once I get into the xml file and I remove the tags. But even after doing so, I import using PMM web GUI and I get all the email accounts created automatically but no emails?!

Is there any way I can migrate my email across from this horrible windows plesk experience to the linux box?

I tried to upgrade my win 8.6 plesk to 9.2.1 to see if I can create a 9.2 backup dump using the newer plesk but I found no backup tool, only found the pre9converter tool...

Been searching forever online and throughout the forums here.

Please for the love of God, someone give me a tip on how to finally fix this!

Thanks,

Jia
