Hi all,
I had setup an account to receive mail and it has a few emails waiting in the "New" folder of its maildir. However, the setup has changed and this account is no longer to be used but instead gets aliased by the "alias" file so that the mail is forwarded to an outside email account. Something like that:
user: some...@else.com
So right now, any mail sent to us...@mydomain.com gets forwarded to some...@else.com and that is just fine with me. However, the existing emails in the "New" folder should be forwarded to some...@else.com and I'm not quite sure on to how to proceed with this.
Any suggestions?
You're making this more complicated that it needs to be. Take all the files in new, and put them in new's directory in the other mailbox. This is assuming that both mailboxes are owned by the same system uid and gid.
Done.
But the account where it needs to be forwarded is NOT on the same server and its configuration is out of my control. The alias file allows to do this and it works just fine. However, it was put in place a bit too late and I would like to forward what is already sitting on the server.
Then connect to both servers with any mail client and copy them over. IMAPCopy (http://home.arcor.de/armin.diehl/imapcopy/imapcopy.html) would do fine.
Like Sam said, you're making this harder than it needs to be, there are a hundred ways you could do this...
Jay
But then again, I don't have IMAP on the other end.
Maybe you should have mentioned these things in your first message instead of forcing us to guess your config.
Ah well, I'll manage a way but it would have been nice to be able to put them back in the queue for courier to reprocess them.
You might be able to resend them with sendmail one way or another but that would change the headers and delivery times. Sam's suggestion of moving just the files between each Maildir's "new" folder would work without changing any of the message's attributes. Of course this is assuming both servers are using Courier and a Maildir backend which is something else you didn't really inform us of. If you want good advice, you need to be more verbose as to exactly what you are trying to do.
