Can I just copy all the old mail to the new server and start up Dovecot? Will Dovecot automatically create the indexes and stuff that it needs?

I first used Courier which was a lot easier setup. I wish I could help you but I'm not very knowledgeable on the server setup. Never really used it.</p> <p>There are some caveats if you want to use the instructions here. OS X Server uses local user accounts, our setup uses virtual users that only exist in a database and are not able to login to OS X. Also the config therefore is different from OS X Server. The location of the mailboxes is also different. OS X Server stores everything in the users home directory and here we put everything in single place.</p> <p>Another difference you should be aware of, I think, is that the server admin tools of both versions are not compatible as they are both targeted for different products: Cyrus vs Dovecot. I don't think you could use the admin tools for Snow Leopard on Leopard on a G5 models.</p> <p>The easiest solution would be to upgrade to the intel platform, which could be expensive. Perhaps you could consider a Mac mini with OS X Server? They perform admirably and might even be a suitable replacement for a G5 server.</p> <p>Another option would be to ditch the apple mailserver and switch over to our setup but that might be tricky and would require some time in testing and trying. I would be willing to assist in trying to get this working if you think you need any help. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/leopard-server-sl-server-dovecot#post-786 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:42:14 +0000 rbryanh 786@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Despite the fact that my issues concern X Server and that's not primarily what this site is about, I'm still hoping for the counsel of the wise (as opposed to any specific q or a).</p> <p>I've a modest OSX server farm - four hosts, half on Snow Leopard and half (G5s) on Leopard.</p> <p>I've come to loathe Cyrus with a passion I normally reserve for religion and politics, and glad Apple abandoned it, and would like to rebuild the 10.5.x Server systems to use Dovecot. </p> <p>Beyond that, I'd like to rebuild the Leopard systems to be as close to identical to the SL systems as is feasible, but give my aforementioned hatred for Cyrus, mail services seem a good place to start.</p> <p>My concerns are my merely moderate expertise, not breaking Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, or any of the other training wheels that my less savvy staff use, and ending up with something that's more uniform, more elegant, and more reliable than the not-too-bad mishmash I've currently got. Since X Server's mailserver has always been the sharpest rock in my boot, I figure I'll start there.</p> <p>Any advice?</p> <p>-Bryan </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/compiling-apache-in-64-bit-mode-for-aix-53-64-bit-machine#post-785 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:07:29 +0000 richard 785@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I wouldn't have a clue as I don't have access to any AIX machine, maybe you are better of asking on a AIX specific forum? </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/compiling-apache-in-64-bit-mode-for-aix-53-64-bit-machine#post-784 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:46:35 +0000 kvjeevan 784@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I have downloaded apache 2.2.14 and i need help to compile the apache in 64-bit mode for AIX 5.3 64-bit machine..</p> <p>I have tried setting CFLAGS=--ppc64 and "--enable-lib64", but still the ./httpd -V command is showing architecture as "32-bit".</p> <p>Please suggest </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/no-readlinerlstdch-file-error-while-compiling-mysql-5142#post-783 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:50:00 +0000 aurora72 783@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Well I have to use 5.1.42 version because of the compatibility reasons. </p> <p>I had downloaded it at <a href="http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php?p=mysql-5.1&#38;o=other">MySQL.com archives</a> as .tar.gz file and upon your remark I have re-downloaded it, this time as .zip file and after that, it compiled perfectly at the make stage. </p> <p>Clearly enough, it was a corrupted source file as you have guessed.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/no-readlinerlstdch-file-error-while-compiling-mysql-5142#post-782 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:24:35 +0000 richard 782@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I'm sorry but I've never seen this error before on any of the systems I installed?
