The model of mail objects is different for Confixx and for Plesk.
In Confixx, each e-mail address can be associated with one or more mailboxes, and each mailbox has an automatically generated name. For example, the third mailbox of the customer web4 will be named web4p3. A user can login to a mailbox by POP3/IMAP/SMTP using the mailbox name as a login name.
In Plesk, an e-mail address can be associated with only one mailbox. A mailbox has no separate name but is just related to an e-mail address. A user can login to a mailbox using the e-mail address as a login name.
When migrating from Confixx, there are two possible modes of mail mapping between mail objects: Default and Short names. In the Default mode, the user will have to use an e-mail address to log in to a mailbox after migration. In the Short names mode, the user will be able to log in to a mailbox using the mailbox name as they used to in Confixx.
For example, if a Confixx user has the e-mail address john@example.com associated with the mailbox web4p3, the behavior of the Plesk Migrator will be the following:
Note: In the case when an e-mail address is associated with multiple mailboxes in Confixx, the behavior will be more complex; however, the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods are the same.
To enable the Short names mode of mail mapping:
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/panel-migrator/sessions/<SESSION-ID>
, where <SESSION-ID>
is a unique identifier of the session, you have started.config.ini
file and add the string mail-mapping = "shortnames"
to the [confixx]
section.[confixx]
...
mail-mapping = "shortnames"
