Hi
I have a mail server that works in some years now with no problem.
To tell the truth I have forgot most how I did to make it work but now I was trying to see if I can export my mail from RoundcubeMail to plain textfiles but what I can see this is so old version so it can only export one mail att the time and that is impossible for me.
Then I did try to connect to my thunderbird mail client but no luck
Did find a little mini guide from here IMAP settings for Outlook and Thunderbird - Support - NethServer Community
But I get no error or anything so nut sure why.
I did look in the dovecot settings and I have enable imap and is port 143 and the service is ok.
I just want to export my mail, even if I have to use terminal but not sure how to do it??
Hmm well maybe, I was not thinking about upgrade my mailserver to Nethserver just yet but maybe?
I did just want to export my mail that is alot of fail2ban that I have collect so I can add the IP address to my new proxy
Since installing my mail server, I’ve been running fail2ban, and over the years, many IP addresses have been banned. I now have nearly 1,000 IP addresses that I plan to add to a blacklist on my proxy server, so I can block them as early as possible. Even if some of the IP addresses are old, it doesn’t matter if I block them anyway, as there’s no guarantee the owners have fixed their issues. What I’ve done is set up fail2ban to send me an email with the IP address and related information every time an address is blocked. This is the data I want to extract so I can import these IP addresses into my proxy’s blacklist.
The idea is to update the blacklist every time I receive a fail2ban report. Currently, fail2ban is set to block IPs for just two weeks. It might be possible to extend the duration, but if I can extract the IPs, I can block them permanently.
That’s why I want to retrieve this data. I only need to do it once, but I haven’t found a command to do this via the command line.
ok you want to invent the wheel again (no offense), this is how crowdsec works, people were asking to me, are you sure that crowdsec works…why ? I have no ban ???
because crowdsec maintains a ban list about 250 000 IP (or more) and share it to you
I can answer my own question. I ended up creating a completely new mail server and didn’t move anything over, but for those who want to get their mail out, you can do it with mutt, which you first install and run, for example, this code.
It creates an mbox file of all your emails that you can then download.
mutt -f /var/lib/nethserver/vmail/Your email address/Maildir/ -e 'set mbox_type=mbox; set confirmcreate=no; set delete=no; push "T.*<enter>;s/home/mail.mbox<enter><quit>"'
but now I was trying to see if I can export my mail from RoundcubeMail to plain textfiles but what I can see this is so old version so it can only export one mail att the time and that is impossible for me.
