    Hi there,

    as my mailboxes are growing, I wonder if there is a chance to move and store mailboxes on another disk?

    Best,
    Michael

      The maildata is under boxdata in Cloudron. You can read up on how to relocate that at https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/

          @nebulon the doc might need to be updated

          systemctl stop|start docker docker.socket postgresql mysql nginx for the services.

          rsync --archive /mnt/old_root/home/yellowtent/boxdata /mnt/data/cloudron-mail/ for copying the data (mv when fails produce a whole set of problems to be resolved and can't be resumed).

          and the following commands to verify:

          find /home/yellowtent/boxdata/ -type f -printf "." | wc -c
          find /mnt/data/cloudron-mail/boxdata/ -type f -printf "." | wc -c
          diff -r -q /home/yellowtent/boxdata /mnt/data/cloudron-mail/boxdata
