Topic: Emails not readable after rsyncing to new server

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.8
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 18
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Apache
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.

Hi,

I upgraded from 9.7 to 9.8 with a fresh server.  Took me many passes.  I used the rsync to transfer all emails (after searching for the correct command line).   All emails were transferred.

But nothing shows up in roundcube. What is the final step?   How do I connect or index the emails so they are now readable?  Many of the online docs are outdated.

thank you

Did you set the correct permissions for /var/vmail?

chown -R vmail.vmail /var/vmail
chmod -R 700 /var/vmail

- /var/vmail should be owned by root:root with 0755.
- /var/vmail/vmail1 should be owned by vmail:vmail with 0700.
