I can dump the users' mailboxes from command line with 'omcpoutu'. This works great. Nice tool!

Is there a way to dump public folders to a file? I could not find anything about this.

Thanks... joey4712

Hi Joey,

Take a look at the man pages for sxmboxexp. It describes how to use the sxmboxexp -p command to export public folders to a file.

ls-al has posted a handy little script called sx_dump you can setup that will dump all your user mailboxes and public folders to a directory of your choosing.

Thats provided you are on scalix 11. In scalix 10 there is no way to dump public folders automatically.

In 10 you either "sync" using imapsync to a local imap server (like i ended up doing) or you manually export a pst from outlook.

In 11 the new tool sxmboxexp addresses this, an example is below.....

sxmboxexp --public -F --listlevel folder -a - |gzip | cat > /home/test.public.folders.mbox.gz

I suggest upgrading to 11.....the upgrade process is smooth as!! Only a couple of tweaks required afterwards.
