Hi Michael. If you have IMAP access besides SquirrelMail I'd recommend you to use some other tool, such as IMAPCopy [1], to do the migration. IMAP copying tools are available for various platforms, so use a search engine to find one that suits your requirements. If you don't have the right ports open, ask the providers and they might be able to help you out. Come to think of it, they might even be able to do the work for you if you ask. SquirrelMail can use the Archive Mail [2] plugin to download mails from your server, but I don't know of any easy way to get those mails uploaded to another server. SquirrelMail was simply not built with migration features in mind. It should be possible to create a plugin for migrating mails, but there's no existing plugin doing that. If you can access the mails at the old server though POP3, you might use the Mail Fetch plugin (bundled with SquirrelMail) at the new server to get the mails, but I guess this won't handle folders very well meaning that you'll have to do a lot of moving mails to and from the inbox in both ends. As far as I know this plugin doesn't support IMAP, only POP3. Use the SquirrelMail Addressbook Import-Export [3] plugin to migrate the address book.
