Hi,
Thanks for the hard work in transfering all my domains to the new server.
Just a little worried bout what happened to the current mails in the mailserver of the old jodohost.com server.
Are you gonna transfer all the mails from the old server to the new?
Are you gonna create the email IDs for my existing domains?
Or do we have to manually do it ourself?
Please advice on this… as we are changing our Name Server to point to the jodoshared.com server.
Thanks.
Aaron

Somethings we can’t transfer like email accounts. We can’t recreate them manually either because we don’t have the passwords for them. So yes, you’d have to create them yourself.
We can’t really transfer your mail from the old boxes to the new ones either. You could try using IMAP to do this however

Thanks for the immediate reply. 
Any tips on using IMAP?
I am very unexperience it that. Thanks.
And how much time do we have to transfer all the mails and to create all the email IDs until our old server is deactivated/ being charge?

I use Outlook Express with IMAP. Works great. I use all default settings except for the following:
Change the Root folder Path from blank to “Inbox”
Change the Sent Items Path from “Sent Items” to “Send”
See picture attached below.
interesting… I’ve never done any IMAP b4, actually i dont even know what it is… hehehe (what a newbie)
well, what does this do actually?
I wanna transfer all email from the old server to be in the new server (including my client’s without them going thru the hastle), is it done via IMAP?

I suppose what we’re talking about doing here is to use POP3 to pull down all messages from the old server. Then have IMAP setup for the new server and simply drag and drop those messages from the POP3 inbox (in Outlook Express) into the inbox in the new IMAP account. That affectively uploads the messages onto the new server.
thanks…
But unfortunately this error came out
Configuration:
Account: mail.uorconcept.com
Server: mail.uorconcept.com
User name: [email protected]
Protocol: IMAP
Port: 143
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0e
is the IMAP server = mail.[mydomain].com ??
When I ping mail.uorconcept.com, it goes to our old mail server. IMAP is only available on the new. As brawney said, download your mail via POP3 and upload via IMAP.
You can also use mail.jodoshared.com if mail.uorconcept.com is still propogating
I want to do the same thing…
How do I set up an Imap account at Jodohost. I can’t seem to find this out using Hsphere.
IMAP is setup automatically. Just add your account as IMAP in Outlook or you email program

Just configure a new mail account in your client software (i.e. Outlook Express) and point the smtp and imap servers to mail.yourdomain.com as normal. If you need more info just let us know.

That is what I thought but when I did this earlier the server kept refusing me. I just tried it again now and it worked. Weird.
Oh well, I am happy now I was able to transfer the emails easily.
Now if only mail.ourdomain.com gave us the option to load Horde and give us the options to change the password (among other things that online mail account services provide)…then it would be perfect.
Glad IMAP is working. There is another thread where I mention a different way to setup the IMAP folders under Outlook Express that works better. I was also able to create new folders doing it that way. Do a search if you’re interested. I have a big picture in the thread showing what I did.
Yash, I also noticed that mail.yourdomain.com does not get us to Horde. Will this be changed at some point?

One of our customers did something interesting. He basically created a subdomain called “webmail” and pointed it to unix2’s IP (where Horde is located). Then hordemail could simply be acessed by visiting webmail.youdomain.com/horde/imp
You could even put a redirect page at webmail.yourdomain.com that directly takes you to /horde/imp

Can you explain how to do this in Hsphere. I have added the subdomain but everytime I try to do something like a redirect it adds www in front of the new subdomain.
Sometimes I find Hsphere to be the most confusing unorganized control panel I have ever used. I just don’t understand it’s logic.
Ok, I’m sorry, made a mistake
Instead create an A record on the main domain for webmail.domain.com. Point it to the IP address that shows up when you open horde. That would do the trick
Our administrator will be upgrading horde, installing a contact manager, password changed and some other add-ons tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. He hasn’t been finding much time with the ongoing account transfer process

I did almost the same thing. I just set up a subdomain called my.****.com and redirected to http://66.36.228.155/horde/imp/login.php?imapuser=%40***.com&server=mail.m****here.biz . It’s nice having the domain filled in already as well as the server selected - makes it a snap to log in.
Right, I think you were the customer who I stole the idea from
