How can I restore my email/.eml files from a simple copy of my cpanel account?
I've had a shared hosting account at bluehost, which I've terminated, but I've tarred my entire account/whole folder, so that I've got everything except for mysql db-s which I don't need.
I've got a bunch of email files in /mail/[email protected] with .Mycustomemailfolder1 to .Mycustomemailfolder100 which I've created back with Outlook for organisation.
I've migrated to zoho and I'm wondering how can I get the eml files they want to import.
I've also got these files in this folder I'm talking about:
date 20:00 17 dovecot-keywords date 20:02 52,784 dovecot-uidlist date 12:01 8 dovecot-uidvalidity date 12:01 0 dovecot-uidvalidity.55c1ed06 date 12:58 19,456 dovecot.index date 20:03 352,188 dovecot.index.cache date 20:03 16,256 dovecot.index.log date 12:58 32,804 dovecot.index.log.2 date 12:00 456 dovecot.mailbox.log date 20:00 4,752 dovecot.mailbox.log.2 date 20:02 2,982 maildirsize date 20:02 new date 12:00 3,069 subscriptions date 20:02 tmp
Wondering what can I do, and I can't find any pointers.
I didn't use any exporters or migrations tools, wish I did.

Hi,
Thunderbird can open Maildir (the downloaded mail folders what are you have), and after that you can copy these emails to zoho via imap.

Just gave this issue and thunderbird a look and your link didn't provide any reference as where to set it. Then googled this But thanks Károly.
We'll see how the importing goes.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
This is just a note for myself, used this to import my [email protected] cpanel raw folder to my "pop local" version of [email protected] on thunderbird.
then opened my same email with imap on thunderbird and am now copying all my old messages to the imap version.
We'll see.
Necro, self-bump, call it whatever you want.
Damn icedove(debian fork of thunderbird) doesn't want to import the damn files again.
I think I have my old college software licence details in those email folders...
I also don't remember what option I used with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/, so I might be unlucky or just the linux version doesn't have what I used.
Will try wine and thunderbird..
