Topic: How to copy iRedMail Users from one server to another?

I'm trying to find the way to copy my previous users and passwords of an old mail server to a newly configured server.  Both servers are setup at the same manner using, iRedOS, iRedMail, RC, OpenLDAP...

If you used MySQL backend, then simply dump/export accounts from MySQL and then import them into new server.
For OpenLDAP backend, dump whole LDAP tree and them import it.

Zhang...,

Is that the Export tool on the PHPLDAPADMIN?  When I tried to Import it to the new server, I get the error, something like, "there is already an existing domain or something..."

Sorry, but I didn't have much time to study LDAP, I was used with MySQL.  And since, I need to go in production the new server, I really need some quick answers on HowTo.

I was used with MySQL.

With MySQL backend, just dump your accounts from MySQL (database 'vmail') with command 'mysqldump', or phpMyAdmin. and then import it.

But check that Your dir permissions on new server is correct (ls -l), owner must be vmail and group must be vmail smile

I have problems with this smile

Sorry, but I may have been misunderstood, my Old Mail Server was configured as the New Mail Server, using this howto "iRedOS-0.6.0: Open Source Mail Server With Postfix, Dovecot, Amavisd, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, RoundCube".  And if check on my MySQL databases there is no 'vmail' database.
