Im making a site for a client so they will be switching to my hosting. They already have old hosting with emails that they dont want to lose. Whats the best way to ensure emails aren’t lost during the switch? I was simply thinking of getting them to change from IMAP to POP, but is there a better way? This relies on them setting up POP correctly and their not that technical.
Thanks
And for the sake of His Noodliness, do not use POP3 if you don’t have a very good reason for it. IMAP is much more intuitive, enables access to all mails from different computers, is faster, supports folders (serverside) and searching, and also solves the problem with backups since it’s easier to do backups on the serverside than on all the clients.
