Re: Migrate users/password/mailbox from postfixadmin to iredmail

- We don't have such script, but since iRedMail was based on PostfixAdmin in the beginning, it should be very easy to migrate username + password (they map to column `mailbox.username` and `mailbox.password`).
- About mailbox, the most important part is the maildir path defined in SQL database and the real one on file system. Please make sure they're matched, otherwise user will not be able to see old messages. You can copy mailboxes with tool like "rsync" (recommended), or just "scp"

Note: maildir path is queried from SQL db like this (FYI: https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/bl … conf#L19):

CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir)

Also, string "/Maildir" will be appended to the maildir path (FYI: https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/bl … conf#L65).

For example, if you have SQL column/value like this:

storagebasedirectory="/var/vmail"
storagenode="vmail1"
maildir="domain.com/username/"

The real mailbox should be: /var/vmail/vmail1/domain.com/username/Maildir/.
And the per-user sieve rule directory will be: /var/vmail/vmail1/domain.com/username/sieve/.

Easy enough?
