I am in the process of moving my sites from one host to the other, a total of six domains. The new host has Cpanel 11, but the old host is using a custom panel. My problem is the e-mail accounts. Is there any way to transfer the contents of my e-mail accounts (i.e. stored messages)? The old host is using Squirrel mail, which is an option on the new host. I only need the contents of 3 accounts. Anyone know how to do this?
Ok the email software can be Qmail, Exim, Postfix for Linux. For Windows the choices are even more. So it would be difficult for me to say.
squirrelmail is just the front end to read mail from mail box .. you would have to contact the host and copy the mail folder (and its associated files) if you wish to migrate all your emails. My sincere advice, please contact your host. You would not be able to do it without them (apart from downloading them in outlook / or forwarding them using any existing interface) Thx GS
This host is very unhelpful and in the past has refused to help with this information. I really need to get everything backed up before talking to them. @wisodomtool: I checked the header, and it seems to be qmail. BTW, these are my own sites.
I use imapsync to move e-mail from one server to another. Pretty slick once you get it setup - although can use a fair amount of ram when it's running. Matt
