Step 11: Migrate mail

If you want to migrate mail, use one of these techniques:

ÂHave users copy mail they want to save from the ASIP server to Mac OS X Server.

ÂMigrate the mail database to Mac OS X version 10.2, then migrate it to the version 10.4 server.

To have users copy mail:

1Follow the instructions in the mail administration guide for setting up version 10.4 mail service that supports the IMAP protocol.

2Create user mail accounts.

3Have ASIP mail users configure their mail clients to use Mac OS X Server’s mail service.

4With the ASIP mail server running, have the mail users copy the mail they want to keep from the ASIP server to Mac OS X Server using the IMAP protocol.

To migrate the ASIP mail database:

1Install Mac OS X Server version 10.2 on a computer that meets the system requirements in Getting Started With Mac OS X Server for version 10.2. Follow the instructions in the getting started guide to install server software and perform initial server setup.

2On the ASIP server, disconnect all users and administrators and shut down the mail server.

3On the version 10.2 server, log in as an administrator and turn off all services using Server Settings.

4Connect to the ASIP server from the version 10.2 server, logging in as an administrator.

5Mount the startup volume for the ASIP server.

6Navigate to the AppleShare IP Mail 6.0 Data file and copy it to a local partition on the version 10.2 server.

7Open the AppleShare IP Migration utility on the version 10.2 server. It’s located in /Applications/Utilities/. Then click the lock in the lower-left corner to authenticate as an administrator.

8Select the option that migrates the mail database, then click Migrate.

9Locate the file Users & Groups Data File and click Choose. (The default location is the Preferences folder in the System Folder.)
