How to migrate filter rules from one user to another user?
Solution
These are the steps to export and import filter rules.
1) Export exiting filter rules of a user and save into a file.
zmprov -l ga UserA@DOMAIN.COM zimbraMailSieveScript > /tmp/filter_rules.txt
2) Prepare the output file "/tmp/filter_rules.txt".
sed -i -e "1d" /tmp/filter_rules.txt sed -i -e 's/zimbraMailSieveScript: //g' /tmp/filter_rules.txt
3) Check required folders' path for the filter rules.
cat /tmp/filter_rules.txt | grep 'fileinto '
Example:
zimbra@mail:~$ cat /tmp/filter_rules.txt | grep 'fileinto '
fileinto "TestEmail/TEST2";
fileinto "User5";
fileinto "Admin";
zimbra@mail:~$
4) Import prepared filter rules on another user.
zmprov ma UserB@DOMAIN.COM zimbraMailSieveScript "`cat /tmp/filter_rules.txt`"
5) Create all required folders for the imported filter rules from the step 3.
zmmailbox -z -m UserB@DOMAIN.COM cf -V message /"FolderName"
Example:
zmmailbox -z -m UserB@DOMAIN.COM cf -V message /"User5"
