Hello,<br />
<br />
I have installed Sendmail 1.4.2-1 in a RedHat9. I would like to backup the mails of user accounts, so I want to copy all the mail files via Telnet to a Windows PC.<br />
<br />
For that, I'd like to know what files do I have to copy and their paths!<br />
<br />
If I have a user Jhon Doe, I will find these files:<br />
<br />
/home/jdoe/mail/Drafts<br />
/home/jdoe/mail/Sent<br />
/home/jdoe/mail/Trash<br />
<br />
So, I would have to backup those files.<br />
But where are the INBOX mail files?<br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />
