Migrate e-mails from another provider
Move existing mailboxes and their messages to MonsterASP.NET.
When you move your e-mail to us from another provider, you can copy the existing messages from the old mail server into your new mailbox. The migration tool is part of WebMail.
Before you start
- Create the mailbox with us first — see Set up e-mail for your domain.
- Have the login details of the old mailbox ready. You get them from your old hosting provider, or you find them in the settings of the e-mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, eM Client and so on) that was downloading mail from the old server.
Migrate a mailbox
Sign in to WebMail
Open WebMail and sign in to the mailbox into which you want to transfer the e-mails.
Open the mailbox migration
Go to Settings → Connectivity → Mailbox migration.
Choose the type of the old account
Pick your old provider from the list of the most used e-mail services, such as Gmail or Outlook. To migrate from your old hosting provider, select the last option, Other.
Enter the login details of the old server
Fill in all the login details needed to connect to the old mail server.
Wait for the migration to finish
If the login details are correct, all your e-mails are downloaded from the old mail server. WebMail shows the progress of the migration and how many e-mails have been transferred.
