Topic: Migration to Iredadmin

Hello,
I want move my old mail server from old linux box  to  new, and  also switch it  to iredmail. 

previously I use:
postfix + courier on debian.

Now:
Centos 6.5, iredmail last version + postgresql.


Users, passwords and old mail (/var/spool/mail)  has been moved to  new asset.
I can log to  system using any account from old  server, but I cannot log  to mail  using  roundcubemail or  client like  thunderbird. 

Previously I can log to mail using non ssl  connection,   now not.  It is  OK, I want  improve security.
But .. 
how  setup  iredmail  for use  users password from /etc/passwd and  old  mailstore file?

How  configure iredmail  for allow  users to send and receive mails by they  old password over SSL?



Many thanks for any update

Re: Migration to Iredadmin

Iredmail uses virtual email accounts. Not real ones

Re: Migration to Iredadmin

As 7t3chguy mentioned, iRedMail stores mail accounts in SQL/LDAP database, not /etc/passwd file. So you must migrate these mail accounts from /etc/passwd to PGSQL (the backend you chose to store mail accounts).

We have tutorial to help you migrate passwords stored in /etc/passwd:
http://www.iredmail.org/docs/password.hashes.html

Note: passwords stored in /etc/passwd is salted MD5 by default, unless you chose a different one.
