36 Chapter 2 Mail Service Maintenance

Converting the Mail Store and Database From an Earlier Version

If you have used any previous version of Apple Mail Service, you’ll need to convert your

users’ mail messages and mail database to the current format.

To convert an earlier version of the Apple Mail Service mail database run the Terminal

tool amsmailtool.

To convert the database:

1 Start Terminal.app.

2 As root user, enter the following command:

/usr/bin/cyrus/tools/amsmailtool

The conversion tool displays its status in the terminal as each user and mailbox is

migrated.

Note: To complete the mail database conversion successfully, the server must have

enough available disk space. The amount of available disk space should equal the size

of the database file being converted. If there’s not enough disk space available,

amsmailtool won’t convert the mail database and messages.

Using Amsmailtool

The utility amsmailtool, if launched without arguments, runs as follows:

• The tool looks first for the 10.2.x mail database. If it doesn’t find one, it looks for the

10.1.x mail database. If both exist, only the first one it finds will be migrated.

• Mail is exported to the default destination directory, creating target mailboxes as

needed.

• Each migrated message is marked in the database to prevent duplicate migrations.

• If the migration is canceled, rerunning the tool continues the previous migration by

checking if a particular message has already been migrated.

If you want to specify a single type of database, source directory, or target directory to

migrate, you may run amsmailtool with certain arguments as options.

To see the complete list arguments and command syntax:

1 Start Terminal.app.

2 As root user, enter the following command:

/usr/bin/cyrus/tools/amsmailtool -help
