Re: How To Transfer Email

Open Thunderbird on workstation

Install both email accounts into thunderbird.

drag n drop email from one inbox into the other.

This was the only way I could get it to work from an old godaddy account a long time ago.

Re: How To Transfer Email

I did the same - with a .pst containing several million records.  I broke it down by quarterly blocks of emails from/to each of the accounts (ie all emails from 1/1/2015 to 4/30/2015, then 5/1/2015 - you get the idea).

It was dreadfully slow (the new host is on a woothosting VPS and isn't very fast), but once it was done I'm quite happy I've moved away from GoDaddy.

You can use tool like "imapsync", it can mirror a mailbox via IMAP protocol. smile
