Supported email providers

This email migration tool should work with any email provider as long as they support IMAP protocol. It has been tested with Google Workspace, Microsoft Exchange, cPanel, Zoho, AOL, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and more.

If this tool doesn't seem to work with your email provider, you may have enabled two-factor authentication or disabled IMAP in your email settings.

What is IMAP?

Have you ever set up an email account on a smartphone or a desktop email client? If you have, then you must have seen the prompt asking you to choose between IMAP and POP protocols. To a non-expert, this question might be perplexing, but your choice will significantly affect how you send, receive, and generally use the email account on that device.

The majority of users now choose IMAP, or Internet Message Access Protocol, over POP, or Post Office Protocol, which was once the most widely used type of email protocol.

Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), as the name suggests, enables you to access your email from anywhere or on any device over the Internet. Email messages are essentially kept on hosting servers, and your email client makes a connection to the server each time you check your inbox to link you to your messages. When utilizing IMAP, reading an email message means reading it from the server rather than downloading or saving it on your machine. With this protocol, you won't miss an email when checking your email from various devices as actions are synchronized with the server. Essentially, interacting with the IMAP client means interacting with the email server.

Things to put in place before using this tool

Before using this IMAP email migration tool, there are a few things that need to be in place:

1. Enable IMAP from your email settings

Some email providers do not let you use the IMAP protocol by default. Check the settings first to be sure IMAP is enabled.

2. Disable 2FA

With two-factor authentication enabled, you will be unable to log in to your email account through IMAP protocol using this tool. This feature needs to be disabled.

3. Or generate an application password

if you're not comfortable with disabling 2FA, generating an application password from the settings is an alternative if your email provider supports it.

4. Enable less secure apps

If you are using a Google account or an email account that disables unofficial apps by default, you need to check your account settings and enable less secure apps for this to work.
