Email Box Migration

There are different ways to migrate an email box:

• Migrate the box via the email client

  Advantages:

  • Data does not pass through third-party servers.
  • Email accounts are created directly in the email client, such as Thunderbird / Outlook.
  • No additional cost is incurred by a relocation service.

  Disadvantages:

  • The migration is done via your own internet connection, which can take time or fail depending on speed, stability, and box size.

• Migrate the box via the Audriga relocation service

  Advantages:

  • The box does not need to be transferred via your own internet connection. Thus, even with a slow connection, large boxes can be reliably transferred.
  • It is possible to transfer multiple boxes at once without configuration in the email client.

  Disadvantages:

  • The relocation service provider has access to your email box and therefore to your emails. This can pose compliance issues with your company’s privacy policy.
  • Relatively high costs per box apply.

• Migrate the box via the “ImapSync Online” relocation service

  Advantages:

  • No additional cost is incurred.
  • The box must be transferred via your own internet connection. Even with a slow connection, large boxes can be reliably transferred.
  • The program underlying this service, “ImapSync”, is open source.

  Disadvantages:

  • The relocation service provider has access to your email box and therefore to your emails. This can pose compliance issues with your company’s privacy policy.
  • The user interface is confusing, as it directly displays the outputs of the ImapSync command line program.
