Move your email without interruption.

The setup wizard recognizes your current provider from your MX records and draws up a migration plan. MX doesn't change until mailboxes and old messages are ready, so no new mail is lost.

Migration in five steps.

The dashboard's migration plan follows the same order and shows each step's status from real data.

  1. Step 1: Lower the TTL

    Lower your current MX record's TTL to 300 seconds, so the new record spreads within minutes when MX changes.

  2. Step 2: Create mailboxes

    Connect your domain and create a mailbox for each person. New mail doesn't come to Mühür Mail until MX changes, so nothing stops at this step.

  3. Step 3: Import old messages

    Connect to the old server over IMAP, confirm the folder mapping and start the import.

  4. Step 4: Switch the MX record

    Point the MX record to Mühür Mail; remove the old provider's MX and SPF entries once the move is done.

  5. Step 5: Confirm delivery

    Send a message from outside and see it arrive; run the import once more to collect anything that reached the old server in between.

The import never deletes or flags anything at the source; re-running the same job skips messages that already arrived.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a migration take?

The DNS steps take a few minutes. How fast the MX change spreads depends on its TTL, which is why you lower the TTL first. The import time depends on mailbox size and the old server's speed.

Can I keep using my old mailbox during the import?

Yes. The import changes nothing at the source; you keep using your old mailbox until MX switches. After MX, run the import once more to collect the messages in between.

Do I need to move my domain or website?

No. Your domain and website stay where they are; only the email-related DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) change.
