NethServer Version: 8
Module: Sogo, Mail
Hello Folks, can anyone tell me where i can find the Mail Directorys in NS8 ? In NS7 it was here /var/lib/nethserver/vmail but did not find it in NS8.
Maybe this helps:

it did not help, but i will thank you for your try Markus. I tried to copy a bunch of sendet Emails from one Sogo Installtion NS7 to Sogo Installation NS8 and stranded with no luck.
Sogo uses the mailserver.
So it’s also possible to use a mail client like Thunderbird and setup both the NS7 and the NS8 account and copy the mails.

Hello @hucky ,
in addition to the info of @mrmarkuz,
I think you can also look at the folder
/home/mail1/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/dovecot-data/_data
implied that mail1 is the used mail instance.
Regards

unfortunately i did not find it there. but thanks a lot for your try 
It should be there, maybe your mail instance name is not mail1.
You can check the names in the app drawer on the top right in the UI or on CLI:
ls /home
If it returns for example mail3, then you can find the mails in
/home/mail3/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/dovecot-data/_data
Please check if the permissions of the copied mails are ok if you use this method.

my directory is named mail1 but it is empty, i did not have at this position any further directory.
Maybe it was an old instance that wasn’t fully removed.
Are there other mail instances like mail2 or mail3?
Perhaps mail1 is not empty.
try
cd /home/mail1
then
ls -a
or
ls -la
You need the -a parameter to see folder with a . at the beginning.
