change email account and transfer messages

[gerente_teraplug]

hello guys! sorry for my english
i have cpanel version 106.0 (build 15)

two questions:

1. can i change email account and preserve folders and messages? example: [email protected] change for [email protected] with a easy command or click??

2. how can i to transfer, copy or move inbox, sent, personal folder from one email account to another account in the same cpanel and same domain folder?

what i did? and doesnt work!

original email account [email protected], inbox 72 messages, sent 34 messages and 4 personal folders.

first one, create [email protected], then i went to file manager and copy all files from peter.braum folder to peterb folder, check mail peterb, i could see inbox working fine but folder sent is empty, and don't see personal folders (sent has 34 messages right and user have 4 personal folders)

second one, delete [email protected], and create folder peterb, and repeat "first one"

inbox works fine, email account send messages fine, recieve fine, but sent is empty and not personal folders.

thanks folks!!!!

Hey there! You won't be able to copy the mail files like that and have them work.

I would create the new email account, and then manually forward the messages over to the new address. With only abotu 100 messages, this won't take too long, and will ensure everything is created properly.

That you can do with IMAPSYNC,

Official imapsync migration tool ( release 2.229 )

Imapsync is amazing - I'd recommend it.
