ProcedureTo Move Mailboxes to a Different Disk Partition

  1. The user does not have to be disconnected from their mailbox during this migration process.

    mboxutil -r should lock everything that needs to be locked. Delivery may be stalled while that happens, and POP and IMAP and therefore webmail clients, may experience a delay, but there should be no problem.

  2. Move the user mailbox with the following command:

    mboxutil -r user/<userid>/INBOX user/<userid>/INBOX <partition_name>

    Example:

    mboxutil -r user/ofanning/INBOX user/ofanning/INBOX secondary

  3. Set the mailMessageStore attribute in the moved user’s LDAP entry to the name of the new partition.

    Example: mailMessageStore: secondary

  4. Inform the user that message store connection is now allowed. If applicable, change the mailAllowedServiceAccess attribute to allow POP, IMAP and HTTP services.
