If you are moving your email to BigScoots and you would like to migrate your messages over from another host, follow this guide to migrate your accounts over via the WPO Email Migration Tool.

Let's get started!

Access your WPO Email.

Step#1:

Access your WPO Email and select the site address for which you wish to migrate emails.

Step#2:

Click on the 'Add New Email' button to create a new email account. You will be asked for a username and password. Make sure that the username is the same as the old one.

Step#3:

Once the email account is created, click the 'Migrate' button for the email you created.

Access your WPO Email here: https://wpo.bigscoots.com/user/email

Step#3:

A form will appear asking for details such as the old server hostname, old password, and new password. In the 'new password' field, you have to put the password that you entered while creating an email account in Step#2.

Here are some common mail server hostnames from other mail hosts:

Gmail: imap.gmail.com

Outlook: imap.mail.com

Cpanel:

cPanel => Home => Email => Email Accounts => Connect Devices
Copy the Incoming Server under Secure SSL/TLS Settings.

SiteGround:

https://tools.siteground.com => Email (in the left menu) => Accounts =>

You will find 'Email Configuration' on the bottom right where the 'Incoming Server' is the hostname.

Enter your old server information and your new password.

Step#5:

Once the form is filled with appropriate details, please click the 'Start Migration' button which will show you a 'green tick mark' if all the details entered are correct. You will receive a WPO notification once the emails are migrated completely.

Congratulations, you've just migrated your email over to BigScoots!
