Topic: Merging Users of two Servers

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): v0.9.7
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian Jessie
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):Apache

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate some domains and users together with their mailboxes from an old iRedMail installation (0.9.0, no iRedAdmin-Pro) to a new one (v0.9.7, iRedAdmin-Pro v2.8.0), that is already up and running with some other domains that are already in use.
Is it possible to somehow merge the databases and reallocate the mailboxes to the users again or should I just recreate the domains and users and let them safe their important E-Mails by themselves?

Thanks in advance

Re: Merging Users of two Servers

Suggested path:

*) Upgrade iRedMail-0.9.0 to the latest iRedMail-0.9.7 by following our upgrade tutorials first: https://docs.iredmail.org/iredmail.releases.html

*) Migrate to new server. Since you have same SQL database structure as new iRedMail-0.9.7 server, it's ok to simply export/import SQL databases, copy mailboxes with 'rsync' (or similar tools).
