I am trying to move folders from Rogers to Primus. How do I do this?

Question

I have a ten year supply of folder that I want to move to my new provider. Do I have to send individual e-mails to my new address? Help!!!

Answer 1

This isn't the best forum for what I'm about to describe, but maybe this will help get you started.
I suggest using an offline email program such as Thunderbird for this. Set up Thunderbird with an IMAP connection to your existing mailbox. IMAP is a standard protocol supported by most ISPs, and what it does is create a mirror of your online mailbox on your computer. Typically the mirror will only have your Inbox and Sent Items, but you should be able to mirror ALL of the folders you want.
Once you have all the mail downloaded into the mirror folders in your email software, you can ''copy'' it from the mirror folders into true local folders that do not require you to be connected to the server.
Next, set up your new mailbox and create the desired folders (which will be blank). Establish an IMAP connection to your new mailbox from the same email software, and ''copy'' from each local folder to the corresponding IMAP folder for the new mail server. The messages should be mirrored up to the server into the correct folders.
There a lots of details and possible gotchas, of course, but that's the general principle. And doing it this way ''should'' preserve all the original sent/received dates, unlike most other ways of doing it.
Good luck!
