Ask the destination hosting company (Blacknight). They will be helpful as it is in their interest to make you a happy company.

BTW, asking about hosting is not permitted on this forum and this thread will probably be closed soon.

When switching hosts, if at all possible get the IP address of the POP server. Update the client's mail client to collect from both the IP address and the domain (probably mail.domain.com). Before the domain propagates you can happily query the same server twice, because of how POP generally works (collect then delete) they will only get one copy. But as soon as it does propigate for some ISPs but not others, they will be recieving all relevant email. After a couple of days you can get them to delete the first (IP) account.
