1. Create all required mailboxes via CWP
2. Login in each created mailbox (this will create required file and folder structure)
3. Copy the emails (like any other files) in /var/vmail/DOMAIN.COM/USERNAME
4. Fix Permissions (chown uploaded files vmail:mail)
Example path for email account: [email protected]/var/vmail/cwp.com/mark.s/
