Hey,
I am helping someone migrate from one ISP to another, and I have
reached a point where I can't give an informative answer. Here's the
scenario:
They have folders setup and emails stored on their existing IMAP
hosted server. They use Outlook (I think 2003) to read/send emails.
Now they have to switch over to another ISP which will also use IMAP.
My concern is that I do not want them to lose all the old emails when
they migrate over.
1) When the Outlook account pointing to ISP A is switched to point to
ISP B, and the client syncs up their email, will they lose their
existing emails locally?
2) If they will lose the email, is the solution to switch the Outlook
mode to POP3 for ISP A, download the existing emails, and then switch
Outlook back to IMAP and to ISP B? But then what will happen when
they resync to ISP B?
Any advice would be massively appreciated. Thanks.
