Topic: Migration from SMEServer

I'm looking to migrate to iRedMail from SMEServer on my local SOHO server. Can anyone offer suggestions/recommendations on how to how I might migrate my users' mail?
I assume iRedMail uses MailDir storage format?
Naturally I'll have to create user accounts manually (I'll do that anyway because the server will be used for file storage too) but I'd like to know how to best move across the MailDir directories and contents, and bring the system up.

Yes.

If you move the maildir contents and then add user records to vmail.mailbox that names user and points to maildir should be most of the work.

Thank you, eddie; I'll try that with data from one account, and see how it goes.
