Re: [webmin-l] moving mail between users in virtualmin

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

If you are doing it via the shell with the mv command, the original ownership of the messages was probably preserved which would prevent the destination user from accessing them.You will need to use the chown command to set the correct ownership on the moved mail files.

Transfer mail using e mail client and see if that works.
