<div class="WordSection1">
<p>I have a Linix server that won't boot. I've patched in a
live CD and mounted the original HDDs so I can browse the
files using SSH. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am trying to find where all my customer emails are stored
so that I can (hopefully) copy them off this "dead" server
onto a new server which is also running cPanel and Dovecot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Does anyone know where Dovecot stores emails for each email
account when it runs under cPanel?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I can see a directory called /home/<cpanel
username>/mail/<domain name>/<mail username><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>(I've used <xxxxx> in place of the actual text to
obviscate the actual user information).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If I navigate to that directory I can see lots of interesting
sub directories e.g. cur, new and tmp plus some files such as:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>dovecot.index.cache, dovecote.index, dovecote-uidlist<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But then I'm stumped. I was hoping to find a big fat
directory that contained all the mail files.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Is anyone able to tell me what I need to copy across to get
all the old emails off the "dead" server onto the new one?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you. <o:p></o:p></p>
