Default How to move my old email

Hi, i'm getting rid of my hosting account elsewhere with the intention of moving all my websites to my new VPS.

Thing is, i have a LOT of old email stored on my old hosting account and would like to know how to copy it over to my new VPS. I have access to the old server using SSH so i can get into user>mail. When in there, i see all the folders that i set up in squirrel mail. I guess it's just a matter of copying those files from the server.

Thing is, where do i put them on my new vps?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrew

Does the other host use cPanel? If so, you could do a full backup and restore it on the VPS to get everything copied over including the email.

Hi, the account i have with the other host is based on ensim.

The only way for me to get the mail off the old server is to copy it manually.
