I have a backup of one of my email accounts in the Maildir format. I made it manually, and it’s not from a Mailcow instance.
How to import such a backup into a Mailcow? Will I also have to create a domains and mailboxes that exist in a backup in Mailcow first?
I’m aware of the 2 import/export bash scripts of Mailcow, however, can they be used in this case?
You must log in or register to comment.
Yeah, first create domains and mailboxes.
Then you can find user's Maildirs here for example:
/var/lib/docker/volumes/mailcowdockerized_vmail-vol-1/_data/DOMAIN/USERNAME/MaildirIf you done with the restore, remember to execute:
docker exec mailcowdockerized_dovecot-mailcow_1 chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail docker exec mailcowdockerized_dovecot-mailcow_1 /usr/bin/doveadm quota recalc -ABut the mailboxes of MailCow are always encrypted
Ohh, I didn’t know that.
But:
The key pair can be found in crypt-vol-1. Please don’t forget to backup this and other volumes.[1]
