Hi,

I have hosting with an Irish host but I use the webmail option to check my email so everything is still stored on the mail server of my hoster.

I am changing to a different account on an Irish host and want to keep the email as webmail i.e. keep all my email on the mail server of my new host.

So basically I want to download all my email via pop3 or whatever and upload it again.

Is that the best way to do it? Any other suggestions?
Anyone know any software that can do that?

Thanks for any help/advice.

It's not overly complicated to do, but you may want to ask your new hosting provider to help you

Especially if the old provider has a decent email infrastructure, with email on a different machine to your website, meaning SSH access won't get you at your email directories.

haha, this is funny with all the hosting companies on here.

You can now use google to host your mail at your domain, they have tools to transfer the emails too.

I use www.letshost.ie they are very good.
