Se siete intezionati a migrare da un server all’altro anche la webmail creata con Squirrelmail, e’ buona cosa sapere che i vari utilizzatori, nel tempo, potrebbero aver salvato diverse personalizzazioni nel loro spazio.

Tra queste cose che l’utente sicuramente rivorra’ anche nel nuovo server spiccano: le preferenze (filtri, impostazioni, ecc…) e la rubrica.

Per esportare il tutto vi bastera’ copiare tutti i file .pref e .abook dalla directory data/:

cp -av /path/to/your/squirrelmail/data/*.pref squirrelmail-backup/
cp -av /path/to/your/squirrelmail/data/*.abook squirrelmail-backup/

Since the last time I installed machine (from scratch), I did not have any webmail back in place. I used to work with horde, a well known webmail framework. It is certainly very powerful, but I use the webmail very sparsely, when I cannot use ssh to access my machine. It is also quite complicated to install.

Last wednesday, or the week before, I found myself cornered in such a situation. The webmail offered at my lab was not enough (I wanted to read a specific mailbox on another server). This morning, I resolved to scratch this itch. I managed to do it in less than 30 minutes, without having read any documentation (I had just browsed the screenshots on the software's website). Congratulations for the good work to Roundcube!
