Archiving Emails from Linux-based Email Servers

Synchronizing Users

Linux-based email servers support various database types for managing users. Additionally to the legacy user database know as the passwd file, LDAP-based databases such as OpenLDAP or Active Directory as well as SQL-based databases are often used. Instruction on setting up user synchronization with MailStore Server can be found in the following chapters of the MailStore Server manual:

• Active Directory Integration
• Generic LDAP Integration
• Application Integration

Note: When batch-archiving IMAP mailboxes MailStore Server automatically creates non-existing users. The authentication type of those users will be set to MailStore-integrated.
