Hello,

I just signed up for an account to test out to see if I want to move all of my domains to Cartika.

My current host uses cPanel. For 2 of my domains I have about 150 email forwarders each. They are not real mailboxes, they just forward the email to a real mailbox. I think aliases in H-Sphere replace cPanel forwarders.

1. Is there any way to import a list of email aliases into H-Sphere exported from cPanel?

2. In the list of email addresses and aliases, is there any way to hide aliases in the list? This will get pretty messy really fast if not.

3. Not really important, but: Is there an easy (server to server) way to import about 1.5 GB of IMAP email from the cPanel server?

Hsphere supports aliases as well as mail forwards

For mail forwards, if you have a text file import in this format

box@domain.com
box2@domain.com
box3@domain.com
etc

you can simply copy and paste

for aliases, the addresses need to be created first in hsphere, then you can select them and move them over to the alias section in the mailbox creation screen.

For your requirements, the mail forward option may be the best option

Unfortunately not, however, again, the mail forward option may be your best bet here to avoid this..

Certainly - this one is very easy actually..

in your mail client (ie outlook) set up 2 IMAP mailboxes. 1 pointed to your old IP as the mail host name and the 2nd to the new IP as your mail hostname (with proper login credentials of course). Connect to both, then simply drag and drop the email folder(s). presto, IMAP migrated

thanks and please let us know if you have any additional questions...

Do you mean paste the forwarders in the box shown above? I thought that was where you want to forward the mail to.

I apologize, I misunderstood originally. You are correct. This will be used to forward the email boxes to other mailboxes.

For what you want to setup, aliases are probably your only option - and unfortunately, there is no easy way to set this up based on your requirements. It will be pretty time consuming and manual :(

Doh!

I guess I have some work ahead of me :P

Thanks for the replies.
