Re: We want change directory

Steps:

- Stop Postfix + Dovecot + Nginx services. make sure no access to all mailboxes.
- Move /var/vmail/vmail1 to HDD disk. Also make sure all files / directories are owned by "vmail:vmail" with permission 0700.
- Create a symbol link of moved vmail1 folder back to /var/vmail/vmail1.
- Start Postfix + Dovecot + Nginx services.

For example, let's say you want to move all mailboxes to /mnt/hdd which is a partition on HDD disk:

systemctl stop postfix dovecot nginx
mv /var/vmail/vmail1 /mnt/hdd
ln -sf /mnt/hdd/vmail1 /var/vmail/vmail1
systemctl start dovecot postfix nginx
