Hello!

CPanel says "Warning: deprecated mbox still in use. Please switch to maildir soon".
So I'm going to migrate to maildir by /scripts/convert2maildir.

Is there any problems after swiching to maildir?

I just want to know before converting.

Thank you.

Hi,

There should be no problems with the migration. Just carefully follow the messages the conversion script gives you and make a backup of your email accounts using it before you proceed.

Hi!

 I did /scripts/convert2maildir and succeeded in converting!

 At first I tried to back up mails but script said there's no /backup directory.
A little confused because I have ftp backup.
Thinking of /backup a little while, then I made /backup directory on /.
That was OK. I could make backup and finished converting.

 But I did not know I had to wait for so long time to finish upgrading.
After 4 hours it's started delivering mails and everything seems to be OK.

 Thank you for your help!

Hi Arph,

You are always welcome! The time how long the script runs depends only on the size of mail accounts on the server.

Hello.

After switching to maildir, Cpanel is still saying that "Warning: deprecated mbox still in use. Please switch to maildir soon."

Is there anything left that I should do to stop Cpanel's complaining?

Thank you.

Where are you getting that alert? It should be gone away when the mail storage format was changed.
