The easy way to transfer e-mails to another server

Python, Technology Add comments

I frequently have to move e-mails from one server to another and it has always beena royal pain in the neck. I can’t afford to lose e-mails and was always afraid I (or my clients) did.

Today, I spent some time solving this problem by hacking a little Python script, email_transfer.py. It allows you to copy (or move) e-mails from one server to another for one or multiple users at the same time.

The source server can be either POP or IMAP, but the target server must absolutely support IMAP. I might add SMTP support at some point but since IMAP is so widely available, I didn’t bother.

I hope you enjoy!
