If you need to move your account information, emails, tasks, calendar items, address book and contacts, etc to a new email provider, there are a few paid services that can do it for you.
The TrueSwitch service was once a great way to switch between email providers for free. However, it seems that the site and service are no longer available. If you’re looking for a way to get free email switching, we recommend checking out our other options.
YippieMove
The only email migration service that I could find online is YippieMove. It’s a bit expensive, but it’s the only one that I could find that offers this service for free. If you want to do it yourself, scroll down to the bottom of this article to find some excellent resources for migrating email yourself.
For one transfer, you’ll have to pay $15 for Cox to Gmail. This includes transferring all the email from one account to the other.
What I like about YippieMove is that it supports a lot of email providers, including colleges/universities, international providers and those pesky local ISPs like Comcast, Cox, etc. Here is a full list of providers that they support.
YippieMove is a tool that can help you move your email from one email provider to another. However, if your email provider does not support IMAP, then YippieMove will not be able to help you. The good thing is that even if your email provider is not listed on the list of supported providers, it will probably still be able to migrate your email as long as IMAP is supported.
The site also provides quite a few guides and videos just to make the process even easier for you. The principle is pretty much the same for all the transfers. To get started, you click on the Start now button on the homepage.
Step 1: Enter your login credentials for the email provider you want to move from. Step 2: Enter the login credentials for the email provider you are moving to. Step 3: Review your information and click Next. ..
You can choose to migrate your files to different folders by clicking on the “Migrate Files” button. If you have any problems, you can manually change the destination folder.
If you mistype your login credentials on the first two steps, the website will not give you an error message. When you get to step 3, it will be empty instead of listing out the folders. In that case, go back and retype your login credentials. If you are using two-factor on any of the accounts, you will probably have to disable it in order to do the transfer. You could possibly use an app password, but I did not test that. ..
You can create an account and login to see the status of the migration. YippieMove also states that the credentials you enter on the site will be encrypted via SSL. The only issue I have with their policy is that they can store your data on their servers and it will be deleted within 60 days. ..
I think it would be a good idea for them to let you use the service for 60 days and then change your passwords for both email providers just to be on the safe side.
Overall, YippieMove is a legitimate service that seems to work well for most people. I couldn’t find any bad reviews or remarks about the service online, so I’m guessing most people have been satisfied. For only $15, it worth a try even if it gets most of your email into the new provider. If you have used the service, let us know your experience in the comments. Enjoy! ..
