Coincident with a growing frustration with my current web host, I notice that my yearly contract with them is about to expire.
Perfect time to move to a new host. My problem is that I'm using them to host two other web sites. Moving the web sites are no problem. However, one of the sites has 15 email accounts. 1. How do I handle moving the user e-mail accounts over? Specifically, the passwords? Do I recreate the accounts on the new host, set a default pw, and send an e-mail to the users (before pulling the plug on the old host!) telling them at such-and-such a date, they must use this new PW to sign in, and then change their pw? How is this usually done? 2. Some of the users have messages in their folders. How do I move these? I can't imaging that "Save it or lose it" is how REAL web host-ers do it. Question 1 above is academic. I'd really like to know the proper answer, but in this particular case, I happen to know the user PWs (they never changed the default!) so can easily recreate mailboxes with the same PW. Question 2 is a real problem for me. How do you *real* hosters do this? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
