move email from old SME 8 to new SME 9 machines
« on: November 28, 2015, 04:43:42 PM »
I am retiring an older machine running SME 8. In its place is a new machine running SME 9. I have used Affa to move everything but I hit a snag and need to gather email that has come along between the last Affa run and today.

Can anyone suggest a method for migrating the email only?

Also take a look at the Backup server config Howto, for manually performing selective backup & restore.

Dealing with email's selective restore is quite difficult IMO
