Move Email Accounts & Mail between CPanel Hosts

February 17, 2013

Unfortunately there is no built-in way to move existing email accounts to a new CPanel Host.

Fortunately, it's quite easy to accomplish.

 

Using the file manager on your "old" host, compress the /etc and /mail folders, and download them to your local PC.

If there are domains or accounts that you DON'T want to transfer, unzip the files, remove the accounts you don't want, then re-zip.

Upload the files to your "new" host, and extract them into the /etc/ and /mail folders, respectively.

All done!
