If you just like to migrate the emails then perform the imap sync that is best and easiest way to perform the email migration. Just you will need to make sure that your old and new server have open the imap for the migration.

If it's failing then best option is configure the email account using the old setting in one of your local system. Download all emails in it. That's it.

you can use imapsync or popsync to migrate emails . Please create email id on new server and use below command after installing imapsync

imapsync --host1 server1.example.com --user1 [email protected] --passfile1 /etc/secret2 --host2 server2.example.com --user2 [email protected] --passfile2 /etc/secret2

or not with passfile

imapsync --host1 old.mailserver.com --user1 [email protected] --password1 mypasswd --host2 new.mailserver.com --user2 [email protected] --password2 mypasswd

you need to install imapsync first with the following command Note this command is for centos 6 wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm**

yum install imapsync

I've done several email migrations, including from CPANEL to Office 365. From my experience the best thing to do is one of this two things:

  • If your users use Outlook or any other offline application, just create all the emails in the new panel and let the users define their passwords. Help them on configuring the new email account in Outlook, for example, and afterwards they just need to copy all the emails to the new account.
  • If your users only use webmail, just let the cpanel accounts active for them to be able to see the emails on their old account. In my opinion, trying to export/import all this information is not the best option. If you want them to have the old emails in the new accounts, just tell them to use the strategy of downloading with Outlook or other software the emails and copy/move them to the new account.

If you were migrating between versions of the same panel, lets say for example from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, it would have been easy to import the information, and maintain the login info, because you were probably using AD.
