How can I setup 2 mailservers in 1 office for same domain?

We have a small office here with 25 email users. I just got a mini with 10.7 server that I'm going to use as an email server. I'm working on changing folks over from my old SuSE Linux machine to the new mini. I'd like to setup the mini (the new server) to work with the old server so that I can move people over as needed. My plan is to have both servers accepting mail for users on that particular server, but when I setup "Bob" on the mini and transfer his old mail to the mini, I will deactivate him from the SuSE box and activate him on the new mini. It would go like this...
Bob is setup on the SuSE box. Getting mail here.
I setup Bob on the Mini. Transfer his SuSE mail to the Mini.
Now I will disable Bob on the SuSE and activate him on the Mini.
I now need email to be delivered to the Mini for Bob, but not sure how to do this. Potential problem also: If Bob emails someone on the old server, how do I keep the email from bouncing since they are not on the new mini?
Hope this makes sense. Plan B, which is more painful, is to transfer all email from old to new at once and shut off the old server. But I don't want to work over the Christmas break, so one by one is easier for me.
Thanks!!!

My advice is to advise everyone of a scheduled down time when it's convinient for you and implement plan B.
Plan A will simply cause you more grief in the long run.

    II'm trying to create multiple calendar entries (ie Girl Scout meetings) which occur sporadically, not daily, weekly, monthly and would like to have a copy feature.  Anyone know how this can be done? If not it would be a nice upgrade....

  • How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?

    How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
    Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device.  I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail.  Thanks for your help.

    Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other
    mail apps that allow passcode protection.
    Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and
    enter your credentials each time. A bit slower, but the kids will
    not know the details to login.

    If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
    Thanks

    Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts.  you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • I have multiple computers and iPhones and now iTunes will not allow my wife to load applications or use her own iTunes playlists.  How can I setup each device for each user correctly?

    We have multiple computers and iPhone devices which I have passed on to other family members, such as my wife.  Now she is not able to load apps to her devices, eventhough it appear she is logged into her own iTunes account.  How can I setup iTunes correctly on each device?  Currently, there is one PC and one Mac laptop and we each have iPhones, with one other family member not able to use his 'passed-down' device for iTunes, also.

    Hello dal1820
    Check out the article below on how to use multiple devices with one computer. The main idea that I want to point out is to have different users for each person as it is the easy way to make sure that no issue happen when syncing.

  • HT1918 how can i setup  my account without a credit card

    how can i setup  my account without a credit card

    Thanks SniperKat but I don't know why for some reason the "NONE" disappeared...
    I started to create an account and when I saw the credit card thing I just clicked back and back and so I closed the browser... every free app or something free I get it appears a window : " You have to review some of your information about your account" .... but I don't have an account yet because I didn't create it.... the only solution is to create a new e-mail account and go to iTunes store and create a new account with the new e-mail and be very carefull with the "Free app" this time...

    how can i setup one account for me and my kids ?

    One account each, or one account for all of you to share?
    Either way, follow the instructions here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Remember, if you share an iCloud account, you won't be able to maintain independent Contact lists, calendars, bookmarks etc. They will all be synced to all devices setup using the same account.

  • Hi I am attempting to use a Zed R-16 with Logic Pro 9,  how can I setup a bounce for output 17-18  this is where the mixer sums (the audio outputs on the zed come through 17-18)

    hi I am attempting to use a Zed R-16 with Logic Pro 9,  how can I setup a bounce for output 17-18  this is where the mixer sums (the audio outputs on the zed come through 17-18)
    I would like to be able to quickly bounce down my mixes,  through the Zed outputs. 

    Pancenter...
    Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
    I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
    +1 on the UAD stuff....
    Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
    Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
    Thread 32:
    0   libSystem.B.dylib      
    0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10

    That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

  • Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you!

    Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you! I'm trying to avoid creating my exchange activesync account on her Iphone and then sync only my calendar.

    Thank you for your time. I'm trying to avoid that because she can then simply turn on mail syncronization and then she could read my mail. Another reason is our password policy, that enforces changing our windows logon password every 90 days. Of course changing windows logon passwords demands changing exchange account logon info (password) on Iphone. I have read somwhere that there was an app but it was removed from app store. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?

    How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?
    I am using a QNAP NAS with SMB network shares, which I mount with OS X Mavericks. They are not searchable, as far as I know because of the indexing of network share is by default not activated.
    To force the OS to index them I activated this via mdutils. But this is no solutions. This makes spotlight to index the share once. But I want spotlight to index it always and keep it up to date. I have a huge amount of documents & fotographs, which is very difficult to manage without being searchable.
    Unfortunately the only solution I found in the www was the mdutils-way, which seems not to work, maybe only works not for me.
    I would appreciate any assistance,
    Thank you,
    Stefan

    My thanks to everyone who has contributed to solving this problem here.
    It appears that there still is NOT a good, reliable solution.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    I did find this on http://jonathansblog.co.uk/how-to-enable-spotlight-indexing-on-a-network-drive:
    ===================================
    To enable spotlight indexing on a network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -i on
    To disable the indexing of a connected network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -i off
    To check the status of indexing on a connected network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -s
    ===================================
    And, I found this on the Synology NAS forums:
    cd /Volumes
    mdutil shareName -i on
    mdimport -Vp ./shareName
    where shareName = name of your share
    I have used the mdutil /Volumes/name -i on, and it seems to work.
    But, if I understand it correctly, it is a one-time indexing -- the index is NOT keep up-to-date with changes.
    So, how can we keep the index up-to-date?
    My thought was to schedule a Terminal file to execute each night with the mdutil code.
    Would this work?  If so, how would you setup a scheduled run?
    Would it have to be done on each Mac that accesses the Share?
