Mailbox migration from SIMS to SunONE 5.2

Hi there,

the migration of the old mailfolders was no problem. I used the SIMS 3.5 command:

/opt/SUNWmail/sbin/imbackup -f <BackupTargetFile> -u <UserIDListFile>

to backup the folders, and the

<NewServerRoot>/bin/msg/store/bin/imsrestore -f <BackupTargetFile>

command to recover the mailboxes. It worked perfect.

But....the customer changed the UID of the users from

jdoe todoe.john.

How can I make the system find the new mailfolders?

(I have tried renaming ;-)

Thanks for all hints in advance,

Roberto

Although I don't remember all issues, I am pretty sure that "renaming" or restoring in the "other user /new user" folder should work. But you say you already tried this.Did you run a reconstruct after renaming?

Sorry Guys,

I should have read the manual in the first place thoroughly (rtfm;-)

To convert mailboxes from SIMS to iMS5.2 is too easy.

I have to create a user list in a separate file:

oldname1=newname1

oldname2=newname2

.....

and restore it with:

imsrestore -u userlist -f simsmailbox.backup

It was probably too easy....

Thanx anyway,

Roberto
