Migration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) <\/strong>is a protocol that transmits data between clients. It can be accessed globally at any time and has numerous advantages. The significant reasons to transfer IMAP email from one server to another are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensures access to all incoming and outgoing data, old messages, labels, folders, etc. in a new account.<\/li>\n<li>IMAP doesn\u2019t need licenses and is virtually supported by all devices. So, it helps manage multiple accounts in one place.<\/li>\n<li>Various email clients don\u2019t support the file format of another one. Thus, it becomes necessary to migrate IMAP to IMAP.<\/li>\n<li>Creates a backup of emails on another server in case of system failure, accidental deletion, or attack.<\/li>\n<li>Organize the mailbox, clear the server storage, and seamlessly configure accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reliable_Solutions_to_Migrate_IMAP_Email_to_New_Server\"><\/span>Reliable Solutions to Migrate IMAP Email to New Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following section will elaborate on a manual method and a professional tool for IMAP migration.

Later, follow the given steps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>local email client<\/strong> with <strong>IMAP<\/strong> enabled. Generally, these email clients are <strong>Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird, AppleMail<\/strong>, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verified server compatibility<\/strong> for both <strong>IMAP<\/strong> servers and <strong>credentials<\/strong> of the IMAP email to transfer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps to Migrate IMAP Email to New Server<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Firstly, build an <strong>email account<\/strong> on your <strong>new server<\/strong> that is the same as the old one. (Check that spelling and capitalization are consistent.)<\/li>\n<li>Use the same old <strong>password<\/strong> for your new account and change it post-migration.<\/li>\n<li>Then, create two <strong>new email accounts<\/strong> on the <strong>same client<\/strong> ensuring the following:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Same<\/strong> <strong>email address<\/strong> and <strong>password<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>IMAP configuration<\/strong> for both accounts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Further, address the <strong>Incoming server. <\/strong>It is different for the two accounts. Provide the <strong>IP address<\/strong> of your <strong>previous<\/strong> account and for a <strong>new <\/strong>account:\n<ul>\n<li>Input <strong>domain name <\/strong>( if different for two accounts)<\/li>\n<li>Else, provide the <strong>IP address<\/strong> of your new server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This helps to avoid any <strong>DNS conflicts<\/strong>, that may occur.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>At last, <strong>drag<\/strong> and <strong>drop<\/strong> the messages and emails from the <strong>old inbox<\/strong> to the <strong>source server folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>Wait until the executing process to migrate IMAP to IMAP completes. It may take time to finish depending on the size of the transferring mailbox. The free manual solution ends here. However, it is not an appropriate method for IMAP migration.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shortcomings of the Manual Method<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The method is time-consuming, lengthy, complex, and lacks security.<\/li>\n<li>You need to have good technical knowledge to execute the process.<\/li>\n<li>Chances of duplicacy, errors, inconsistency, and data loss.<\/li>\n<li>It cannot transfer large files with attachments and requires stable internet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Automated_Tool_to_Migrate_IMAP_Email_to_New_Server\"><\/span>Automated Tool to Migrate IMAP Email to New Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>SysInfo IMAP Email Backup Tool<\/strong> is specifically designed to transfer IMAP email to a new server.
