How to find the credentials for your old mailbox
To set up a redirection with your previous provider and retrieve emails from your old mailbox, you will need the credentials for that mailbox.
It is recommended to download emails from the previous provider via the IMAP protocol. For this, you will need the following information:
- IMAP server address
- Connection port to the IMAP server
- Username and password for connecting to the IMAP server
Ideally, your previous email account is already configured in your mail client, such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird or Apple Mail.
Configure temporary email redirection
So that, immediately after the transfer, all emails arrive directly in the new mailbox, you should configure a redirection of emails still being sent to the old mailbox. If you then transfer your domain to hosting.fr, this redirection will no longer be necessary. The redirection configuration varies by provider, but is generally possible after logging in on their website. We therefore invite you to consult your previous provider or contact them to set up this redirection.
Create a new mailbox at hosting.fr
If you do not yet have a mailbox at hosting.fr, please first create a new one.
Please note the username and password during configuration.
