 Since version 0.8.5, Modoboa provides a simple script to migrate an
-existing PostfixAdmin database to a Modoboa one.
+existing `PostfixAdmin (version 2.3.3+)
+<http://postfixadmin.sourceforge.net/>`_ database to a Modoboa one.
+
+.. note::
+   This script is only suitable for a new installation.
+
+First, you must follow the :ref:`howtoinstall` step to create a fresh
+Modoboa database.
+
+Once done, edit the *setting.py* file. First, add a new database
+connection named ``pfxadmin`` into the ``DATABASES`` variable
+corresponding to your PostfixAdmin setup::
+
+  DATABASES = {
+    "default" : {
+      # default connection definition
+    },
+    "pfxadmin" : {
+      "ENGINE" : "<engine>",
+      "NAME" : "<database name>",
+      "USER" : "<database user>",
+      "PASSWORD" : "<user password>",
+    }  
+  }
+
+This connection should correspond to the one defined in PostfixAdmin's
+configuration file. Then, add ``'modoboa.tools.pfxadmin_migrate',`` to
+the ``INSTALLED_APPS`` variable. Save your modifications.
+
+You are now ready to start the migration. Enter Modoboa's root
+directory and execute the following command::
+
+  $ PYTHONPATH=$PWD/.. DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=modoboa.settings \
+      ./tools/pfxadmin_migrate/migrate.py -r -p <directory that stores mailboxes>
+
+Depending on how many domains/mailboxes your existing setup contains,
+the migration can be long. Just wait for the script's ending.
+
+Once the migration has succeed, go the *Admin > Configuration* panel,
+click on the *admin* row and modify the value of ``MAILDIR_ROOT`` as
+follow::
+
+  MAILDIR_ROOT =
+
+The corresponding field must be empty. Don't touch other fields except
+``PASSWORD_SCHEME``, if needed. (set it to the same method as the one
+used by PostfixAdmin, check its configuration file if you're not sure)
+
+Click on the *Save* button.
+
+The procedure is over, edit the *settings.py* file and:
+
+* remove the ``pfxadmin`` database connection from the ``DATABASES``
+  variable
+* remove the ``'modoboa.tools.pfxadmin_migrate',`` from the
+  ``INSTALLED_APPS`` variable
+
+You should be able to connect to Modoboa using the same credentials
+you were using to connect to PostfixAdmin.
