This forum should be DISABLED

Based on the current state of the server: https://www.hmailserver.com/state there's no future for the server. Having this forum "Feature Requests" enabled, gives the users false hope of reality.

Moving messages to another account/folder

First of all, sorry if the question has been answered before, the forum search doesn't work reliably. Is it possible to move existing message files to another account? I'm not planning on doing it often, just once or twice during a one time maintenance. I don't mind shutting down the mail server for...

Re: How to migrate data from SQL Server to MySQL

OMG, I completely forgot about the internal backup feature.
So, I should just point to the new, blank MySQL database and the backup will take care of everything?
Even though, the backup was made from MS SQL?

How to migrate data from SQL Server to MySQL

I've been using hMail for several years under Ms SQL Server. Now I need to move it to another server: a different OS (Win 2016), a different network, different physical location and most importantly a different database. The most obvious solution would be to use a Data Migration Wizard by MySQL Work...

If you can't change the domain's nameservers, maybe propose a test where a subdomain is delegated to another DNS infrastructure and see if mail can be received for the subdomain.
I have full control over DNS servers and testing subdomain is an excellent advice for test. I will definitely try that.
