Hexamail Server includes a built-in IMAP import feature that connects to any existing IMAP mail server and migrates all mailboxes, folders and email automatically. The import runs as a background service, so you can continue working while the migration progresses. Combined with the POP3 Reader module, you can also synchronise specific IMAP folders on an ongoing basis after the initial migration.
