Transferring email between hosts can be complex, as it involves not only moving emails but also contacts and calendar events. Our email migration service simplifies this process, guiding you through transferring everything efficiently. Follow these three simple steps to switch to Private Email and take advantage of its outstanding features without losing any of your existing data.
First, you need to know how to transfer emails between accounts. To synchronize your emails with the new server, use IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) through an email application like Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple Mail.
- Set up both your old and new email accounts within the same application (e.g., Outlook) so you can view them side by side.
- Drag and drop all messages from your old inbox to the new one. If you want to retain the folder structure, move the subfolders in the same manner.
IMAP will handle the synchronization of emails from your device to our server automatically.
Alternatively, you can use Private Email’s advanced interface to facilitate the email transfer.
To transfer your calendar events to Lantid Private Email, use iCal (.ics) files. Export your calendar—whether public or private—as an .ics file from your previous email provider, and then import it into Private Email with just a few clicks.
To complete your migration, export your contacts from your previous email account in vCard or CSV format, and then import them into Private Email. Our address book supports both file types for a seamless transfer.
Each of these steps are:
- Reliable
- Professional
- Affordable
