I have notified my users that while I'm not scraping the passwords, that I will be "preparing to move their accounts from one server to another" and thus are OK with that.
As well I won't be just handing this script out lest someone takes it and advertises it elsewhere where it could be unlawful or at least leaving users feeling violated with their service. Because of that I do NOT encourage the average person who reads this forum to do this without checking out laws first. I appreciate the concern regarding lawful jurisdiction and potential legal matters. Those passwords will be eventually dumped into a script so that the script reads the account name and passwords, performs and IMAP pull of the data to the new server in a quick and efficient manner. That is why I came up with the idea of 'catching' passwords in a custom script that runs as they log in. The email users I have are very loyal and any downtime they have experienced has resulted in very quick and concerned phone calls to my office. The goal is to make a transition from one platform to another very painless and smooth. Like Tony, my business has issued all of the accounts and their passwords initially and have (or at least did as long as doesn't remove features) full administrative access.
In fact has taken away the ability to list all users in a single screen without ordering a 'report' from them that requires me and other admins using their infrastructure to pay for just seeing what users they have. Like Tony, I have no intention on scraping passwords from users, but rather has very much limited the ability as an administrator to perform very basic functions with user accounts. I thought I had replied to this but realized I hadn't and wanted to clarify a few things too.
is such a thing like "IMAP Pulling" legit, or would I basically have to mass email all several hundred of those clients and say print your emails out because I can't save them? I'm thinking about possibly not using those and using something that has a full server & client suite like Zimbra or the full version of atmail. I haven't decided if I would use roundcube/atmail/squirrelmail, etc. My goal is to get away from their awful looking web interface onto my own hosting servers. I've had that since 1998 long before my webhosting days. Currently I have email hosting for one of myĭomains with hosting service. Is this possible? Using the IMAP protocol to transfer the file/folder/data structure of all email accounts on one server to that on another server? (folders, emails, attachments, etc) by doing something called an IMAP pull from I was told the other day that it was possible to transfer the email data
