Migrating E-mail Addresses to alwaysdata

Here is how to move e-mails addresses to alwaysdata.

  1. Create e-mail addresses in your admin interface, Emails > Addresses menu,

  2. Migrate e-mails already existing with the current provider via Emails > Addresses > Modify [example@example.org] - ⚙️ > Import emails.

This import is carried out with a classic IMAP authentication. You therefore need to know the hostname, the username and the password of the mailbox to import. Some services do not allow the use of direct access in standard IMAP. You can then:

  • follow the following documentation: Gmail and Office 365,
  • or do exports/imports via a mail client.
  1. Change MX records to use alwaysdata servers: mx1.alwaysdata.com and mx2.alwaysdata.com.

This migration can be paired with a website migration or a domain transfer.
