Add below settings in iRedAdmin config file, then restart Apache or uwsgi service:

MAILDIR_HASHED = False
MAILDIR_APPEND_TIMESTAMP = False

For more details about these settings, please check file 'libs/default_settings.py' in iRedAdmin.

Ok my problem is solved with above settings.

I have many accounts on another server. I exported them into a text file which formatted such as "fullname(first and surname), mailaddress in every line . How can open multiple them  on the iredmail?
i want to open these accounts with different random password for every account
is there a script to do ?

I have a similar issue at the moment.

How do i change the mail storage  and keep the existing mails?

Hi neozimpi,

Try this: Move /var/vmail to /media/mail, then create a symbol link of /media/mail/vmail1 to /var/vmail/vmail1.

Is this ok on an ubuntu system?
Of course dovecot and postfix will be stoped before doing this.


mv /var/vmail /media/mail

ln -s /media/mail/vmail1 /var/vmail/vmail1

this is a mail system in use.
Hope this will do the trick
(waiting for confirmation)

If you mounted storage on /media/mail, then after "mv /var/vmail /media/mail", you should have these 3 directories:

/media/mail/vmail/vmail1
/media/mail/vmail/backup
/media/mail/vmail/sieve

So the second command is WRONG. You should create symbol link with this command:

ln -s /media/mail/vmail /var/vmail

Thank you for rechecking. My error would have been disastrous.
It worked like a charm.
Better than editing all the configs.

thx again.
