IMAP to IMAP FAQs

1. How do I configure and migrate accounts that have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled?

For accounts with 2-Step Verification / MFA, create an app password and use it with the IMAP host, port, and username for both source and destination. You only need login credentials to run the transfer. Softaken’s IMAP settings guide lists common hosts if you need the values.

2. Which incoming IMAP server port numbers and encryption protocols (SSL/TLS/STARTTLS) are supported?

Enter the host and port each provider gives you (source and destination), plus username and password or app password. Use the IMAP settings guide for Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, cPanel, and other common hosts.

3. Can I migrate email accounts between completely different hosting providers (e.g., cPanel to Google Workspace or Office 365)?

Yes. You can move mail between different IMAP servers — G Suite / Google Workspace, Office 365, AOL, iCloud, Gmail, cPanel-style webmail, and other IMAP hosts. Sign in to any two IMAP accounts and start the job.

4. Does the tool automatically map standard folders like Inbox, Sent, and Drafts between servers?

Yes for a full mailbox run — Inbox, sent items, drafts, and custom folders. You also get customized folder mapping and migrate-selected-folder options. On the destination screen, pick where messages should land (same layout, a new folder, or another option shown in the app).

5. Will the migration process preserve email read/unread statuses, flags, and embedded attachments?

Folders move with attachments, and the tool keeps database originality — structure, formatting, and key attributes stay intact through the job. A migration log report is available when you want a record of the run.

6. Can I filter and migrate emails based on a specific date range?

Yes. Use the date-based filter to migrate picked emails instead of everything. In Advanced settings you can set date limits and folder choices before you press Start Migration.

7. Do I need to install Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird on my machine to run the migration?

No. Outlook or Thunderbird is not required. It’s a standalone desktop app — you only need login credentials for the source and destination IMAP accounts for server-to-server migration.

8. What are the specific capabilities and email transfer limitations of the free trial demo version?

The free demo connects source and destination IMAP, loads the folder tree, and lets you migrate up to 10 items so you can try the workflow. The full license unlocks unlimited migration from $29.
