Moving ahead, I will mention some instructions that need to migrate IMAP email to another host.<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instructions_to_Transfer_IMAP_Email_to_New_Host\"><\/span>Instructions to Transfer IMAP Email to New Host<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>However, I will discuss some instructions which you need to follow for transferring email from one host to another. Just look and follow the instructions.<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>First of all, create a similar email account on a new host as it was on your previous server. Make sure to opt the similar capitalization and spelling.<\/li>\r\n<li>After that, you have the option to change your old password after the exporting process is finished as per your requirement.<\/li>\r\n<li>In your current webmail client, you can create two new webmail accounts.<\/li>\r\n<li>Afterwards, these two email clients contain a similar email address.<\/li>\r\n<li>Then, both email clients must require the same passwords.<\/li>\r\n<li>Both email accounts should be synced by using IMAP.<\/li>\r\n<li>The IMAP server or incoming server should be different for each email account.<\/li>\r\n<li>Then, users are allowed to use their IP address for their new host and their IP address or access domain for their previous server instead of using their domain name. It will avoid any possible DNS conflict.<\/li>\r\n<li>After creating both accounts, open the inbox of your new account which is syncing to your previous server. Just drag and drop inbox messages from one inbox to another inbox on your current server.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>I have successfully completed the process to transfer IMAP email to new host. But one point should keep in your mind, if you have various emails, give the accounts some time to complete configuring. Your previous emails will be synced with the new server.<\/p>\r\n<p>Before moving ahead, you should know some limitations of performing the manual method, such a procedure is too time-consuming and too complicated. Even both users, technical and non-technical users face many difficulties while performing it. Additionally, if you do not want to face any drawbacks or fear of losing crucial data you can directly go with a third-party utility.<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Move_IMAP_Email_to_New_Host_Efficiently\"><\/span>Move IMAP Email to New Host Efficiently<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><strong>Mail Migration Tool<\/strong> is the utility that I have discussed in the above section.
