Hopefully you have configured the MX records in your DNS servers properly. When you are asking for help, it would be better to give the specifics of your domain(s). AFAIK it is in the public (see example below) <example> $ host -t mx google.com google.com mail is handled by 50 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com. google.com mail is handled by 10 aspmx.l.google.com. google.com mail is handled by 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. google.com mail is handled by 30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. google.com mail is handled by 40 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com. </example> > and when I configured it on my Thunderbird, my first email got some errors > (might be due to MX records because I have changed the nameservers). > > Now is there any way to access my both email addresses ( from Company A and > Company B )? Accessing the "delivered emails" is a pop3/imap action and you just need to define the two in your email client appropriately. > I know if I want then I have to take the back-up and then export all Emails > to active email server.

I am assuming you want to transfer (copy) the messages from A to B. IMAP is the answer - connect to both servers using respective profiles and copy the folder/messages from A to B. This may be the only option since you do not have 'root' access to either A or B server. -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
