We offer full-service migrations for our clients, including email migration, so if you’re a client, don’t hesitate to ask us for help! For those who aren’t our clients or wish to perform email migrations themselves, we offer a public IMAPSync installation at https://imapsync.net/.
Using IMAPSync.net
Once you have navigated to our IMAPSync you will see the web form for performing IMAP migrations. To perform a migration, you will need at minimum:
- The login for the source and destination servers (usually the email address).
- The password for the email account on both servers (this may be different for each).
- The IMAP Server name for the source and destination servers.
To test the details without performing a migration, you can check the box “Just verbose, no real sync” towards the middle of the form.
Once you have entered the details of both email accounts for the source and destination mailboxes, all you need to do is click “Sync or resync!” and the process will run. During the migration, you will see details of the run in the log at the bottom of the page.
Using IMAPSync on the command line
If you are an MDDHosting customer, we make the imapsync binary available to you via SSH/Terminal. The process will require the same details as above, but the big differences are that you will be running it from your service with us and that there is no easy-to-fill form to get it started.
