We searched the internet looking to find out how to transfer all the emails that were in a webmail account.
A client asked that we transfer their website from one hosting company to another, and they rely heavily on using webmail to access their emails when they are away from their office
They’ve been using “Horde” and there’s no reason why the same system should not work for “Squirelmail”. There’s lots of forums that say you cannot import your emails from a webmail account.
This is how we transfer webmail to Outlook Express
1. Go to Outlook express
2. Set Up a new identity
3. Follow prompts
3. Select IMAP as incoming mail server ( not POP )
4. Continue prompts
How hard is that? !!!!!!
All your emails will be sucked in from your webmail account. This includes your sent items and draft items. You’ll need to set it up for each different webmail account.
Our client is now happy that they have not lost the email database caused by moving their website from one hosting company to another. They could import their webmail emails, transferring all their emails from “Horde” to their Outlook Express Account on their Windows PC.
What about Mac? Maybe somebody else has the answer and give us some feedback
hope that helps!
