I have made a mistake in installing iRedMail with PGSQL.
how do I correct? I have tried clear_iredmail.sh but I got a bad question about mySql.
I have cancelled the script ans I report here.
My mistake is that I forget to declare mbox instead of default maildir.
(I want migrate old mboxs from an old server)
I have no sensible data soon, and I can erase many things.

Thank you in advance,
Pierre Couderc

clear_iredmail.sh is out-of-date, and it won't remove pgsql at all. Please re-install the OS first, then install iRedMail.

iRedMail doesn't support mbox anymore. Maildir has better performance.
You have to convert mbox to maildir first, then migrate them to iRedMail. Or use imapsync to transfer mails to iRedMail directly without convert.

Mmm, i do not see a way to do that, without having the passwords of users. I havr access to their mbox, but not to their passwords...
