Re: Copy Maildata from User-Domain A to Folder in Domain B

Several solutions:

*) Copy all files under username@domainA.xyz's mailbox to username@domainB.xyz's mailbox. For example:

Old mailbox: /var/vmail/vmail1/domainA.xyz/u/s/e/username-2016xxxxxx/Maildir/
New mailbox: /var/vmail/vmail1/domainB.xyz/u/s/e/username-2016xxxxxx/Maildir/

Then:

cp -rpf /var/vmail/vmail1/domainA.xyz/u/s/e/username-2016xxxxxx/Maildir /var/vmail/vmail1/domainB.xyz/u/s/e/username-2016xxxxxx/

Note: use '-p' flag to keep file owner and permission. Otherwise you have to set file owner (vmail:vmail) and permission (0700) manually.

*) Sync with 'imapsync': http://imapsync.lamiral.info
You must know both users' passwords.

Another question.

How How can I move to a complete a user's mailbox to another mailbox but in a subfolder . How e.g. an archive

Example:

- Sent
- Trash
- Archiv Olddomain
* Inbox
* Sent
* Trash
* Own Folders and Subfolders

- = Folder
* = Subfolder

Re: Copy Maildata from User-Domain A to Folder in Domain B

Simply copy the whole imap folder to another user's mailbox (again, with proper owner and permission), then rename it to '.PARENT.SUB'.

.PARNET.SUB will become a sub-folder like this:

PARENT
    |- SUB
