Moving emails

["Peter Lauri" <peterlauri@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am migrating from one server to another. I have Qmail as running mail
server. How can I the easiest way move emails from one server to another.

This is my idea, but need confirmation:

1. I recreate the email boxes on my new server
2. Copy emails from mailnames/domain.com/name/Maildir/cur on the old server
to the new server
3. Voila, it is complete???

Right now I am doing a pretty slow thing:

1. Recreate email boxes on new server
2. Using Outlook Express and copying from old IMAP to new IMAP

However, this is DARN slow as this process downloads the emails from the
server to my local computer and then copy them. I'd prefer to just setup an
FTP connection between the two servers and upload the files (especially when
one of my clients has 3.5 GB of email in his inbox).

Best regards,
Peter Lauri
