I have about 200 users on a linux box (authenticated via passwd/shadow), each one having his own home directory in /home/$USER
If some of them use IMAP or have folders on server, they are located in /home/$USER/Sent, Trash,Personal...etc.
E-mail comes (INBOX) is stored is in /var/spool/mail. Btw, Im using qmail and trying to implement what i've seen on qmailrocks.org, which is a well documented tutorial.
Any idea on how to convert those users from linux/unix style passwd/shadow to a mysql database user? And how could each user stil keep his/her OLD folders/email messages?
Thank you very much for your help
