A method of migrating a mail post office from a first mail server H to a second mail server H2 in a mail network is disclosed. The first mail server H acts as a first mail directory synchronization server (DS Server) and the post office initially acts as a mail directory synchronization requestor (DS Requestor) to the first DS Server. The method comprises the steps of: establishing the second mail server as a second DS Server; establishing a third mail server H3 to act as a DS Requestor to said first DS Server; redirecting mail on said post office to said second mail server; removing the DS requester for said post office from said first server; deleting all user entries for said post office from a mail directory on said first server; and adding said post office as a DS Requester to said second server.
A method of migrating a mail post office from a first mail server to a second mail server in a mail network, said first mail server acting as a first mail directory synchronization server (DS Server) and said post office initially acting as a mail directory synchronization requestor (DS Requestor) to said first DS Server, said method comprising the steps of:
A mail network comprising a first, second and third mail server, said first mail server acting as a first directory synchronization server (DS Server), said second mail server acting as a second DS Server, and said third mail server acting as a directory synchronization requestor (DS Requestor) to said first DS Server, said network comprising a first post office acting as a (DS Requestor) to said first DS Server and a second post office acting as a (DS Requestor) to said second DS Server, each of said DS Requestors and DS Servers including respective mail directories, wherein said second and third servers are interconnected so that mail directory updates on said first post office are replicated from said third server to said second server and mail directory updates on said second post office are replicated from said second server to said third server.
