Scope · Clear Rules

cPanel and hosting mailboxes only, SaaS providers are a different job

This price covers cPanel-to-cPanel transfers, where we take a server-side backup of the mailboxes and restore it. SaaS providers such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho and Outlook.com do not give anyone that kind of backup, so those moves run over IMAP sync with an MX cutover instead. We do them, but they are quoted separately because the effort depends on mailbox count and total volume.

Yes, this price covers cPanel / hosting email accounts
  • cPanel mailboxes on any webmail client
  • IMAP / POP3 mailboxes (any cPanel/hosting server)
  • WHM bulk jobs across multiple cPanel accounts
  • Full inbox history + folder structure
  • Email aliases & forwarders
  • Auto-responders + vacation messages
  • Spam filters / sieve rules preserved
  • Mailing lists, mailman config
Backup-based means we take a complete copy of each mailbox from the source server and restore it on the destination, so the message history arrives intact rather than being re-downloaded message by message.
No, different job, quoted separately Personal & SaaS email providers
  • Gmail Free (@gmail.com personal accounts)
  • Google Workspace (G Suite business)
  • Microsoft 365 (Office 365 business)
  • Outlook.com / Hotmail / Live
  • Yahoo Mail / AOL Mail
  • Zoho Mail (SaaS)
  • Apple iCloud Mail
  • ProtonMail / Fastmail / etc.
None of these expose a server-side mailbox backup, which is a limitation on their side rather than ours, so a backup-and-restore move is not possible. We can still do it over IMAP sync with an MX cutover, quoted on WhatsApp once we know the mailbox count and volume. If you are also choosing a new home, see our business email.
Email Migration Pricing

Priced by mailbox count, with bulk built in

Both tiers include the full message history, folder structure, aliases, forwarders, autoresponders and spam rules. Extra mailboxes are a flat PKR 100 each. Past 100 mailboxes, send us the count and we will quote it properly rather than multiplying.

Our Process

How a mailbox migration runs: five steps, under 48 hours

You give us access to the source cPanel, we take the mailbox backups and restore them on the destination, with WhatsApp updates from your Karachi engineer as each stage finishes. Our commitment is under 24 hours for up to 10 mailboxes and under 48 for bulk jobs over 50.

01

Request & access handover

Message us and give us access to the source cPanel account. We confirm the mailbox inventory and the clock starts the same business day. If your source is a SaaS provider, that is the separately quoted IMAP route and we will tell you what it needs.

~10 min on your side
02

Server-side mailbox backup

Each mailbox is pulled as an archive from the source server, with a manifest recording what it contains. Message history, folder structure, attachments, aliases, forwarders, autoresponders and filter rules all come with it. Your source mailboxes stay live and unmodified the whole time.

2-6 hrs depending on mailbox sizes
03

Restore on destination cPanel

Mailboxes are recreated on the destination with their original addresses, the archives are restored, and aliases, forwarders and autoresponders are re-applied. At this point both sides hold the same mail.

4-12 hrs
04

Folder + message count verification

Folder counts and message counts are checked mailbox by mailbox against the source. You log into a few of them yourself on the destination webmail and confirm they look right. We do not touch MX records until you say so.

2-4 hrs incl. your testing
05

MX cutover with TTL pre-lowered

MX TTL is lowered to 300 seconds a day beforehand. A final sync picks up anything that arrived during your testing, usually in under five minutes, then MX flips to the destination and new mail starts landing there. Your source mailboxes stay accessible throughout propagation, so nothing is stranded.

1 hr + TTL window
Why HostingWalay for Mailbox Migration?

Why we take a server-side backup rather than syncing over IMAP

An IMAP-to-IMAP sync copies messages and folders, and it does that well. What it cannot copy is the things that live in the server configuration rather than the mailbox: filter rules, autoresponder schedules, forwarders and aliases. Those have to be recreated by hand afterwards, which is where they get missed. A server-side backup takes the whole configuration with it, and it is faster on large mailboxes. We still use an IMAP sync at the end, to catch mail that arrives during testing.

Server-side mailbox backup

We take complete mailbox archives from the source server, not just the IMAP folders. Filter rules, autoresponder schedules and per-folder settings come across with them rather than needing to be rebuilt.

Zero email loss

Source mailboxes stay live and unmodified until you verify the destination. Final IMAP delta-sync captures any mail received during testing before MX cutover, so no inbound message is lost.

Karachi engineer on call

One named engineer in Karachi handles the whole job rather than a ticket queue passing it around. Urdu, English or Roman Urdu, with WhatsApp updates as each batch restores.

MX continuity preserved

Source MX records stay live during TTL propagation; destination MX records published in parallel. No bounce window, no inbound mail loss during cutover, no IT support tickets from confused users.

cPanel Email Migration FAQs

How much does cPanel mailbox migration cost?

Free with any annual HostingWalay hosting plan. As a standalone job, Standard is PKR 1,499 for up to 10 mailboxes with PKR 100 for each additional box. Past 100 mailboxes, send us the count and we will quote it rather than multiplying. White Label, for agencies and IT consultants who need an anonymous handoff with a branded report and an NDA, is PKR 4,499 for up to 10 mailboxes. One-time per job, nothing recurring.

Why are Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Zoho not covered at this price?

Because none of them give anyone a server-side mailbox backup to extract. That is a limitation on their side, not a policy on ours. The only way to move them is an IMAP-to-IMAP sync followed by an MX cutover, which takes longer and where the effort depends on mailbox count, total volume and how much history you want brought across. We do those migrations, we just quote them separately rather than pretending they fit a flat rate.

Does both the source and destination have to be cPanel?

For this price, yes. cPanel or WHM on both ends is the fastest and most reliable route. Plesk, DirectAdmin and self-managed mail servers running Postfix, Dovecot, Exim or Cyrus can use the same backup-and-restore approach if they expose a mailbox archive export. If yours does not, we fall back to IMAP sync and quote that separately. Tell us what you are on and we will say which route applies.

How long does it take?

Under 10 mailboxes totalling less than about 5 GB is usually done within 24 hours. Ten to fifty mailboxes takes 24 to 48. A hundred or more, or a hundred gigabytes plus, runs over two to three days in batches of twenty to thirty, because pushing harder than that runs into rate limits and slows the whole job down. You get a WhatsApp update as each batch finishes.

What access do you need, and what happens to it afterwards?

Source cPanel admin access, or WHM if it is a multi-account job, plus destination access if the destination is not us. You do not need to collect passwords from your users: a cPanel backup carries the hashed passwords across, so everyone keeps signing in with what they already use. Whatever credentials you give us are stored encrypted and deleted once the migration is signed off, and we would suggest rotating them at your end afterwards anyway.

Are aliases, forwarders and filter rules preserved?

Yes, and this is the main reason we work from a server-side backup rather than an IMAP sync. Aliases such as info@ and sales@, forwarders to other addresses, autoresponders, spam and filter rules, and mailing list configuration all move with the mailboxes. An IMAP-only migration copies the messages but leaves all of that to be rebuilt by hand, which is where things get missed.

Will my old mailboxes be deleted?

No. We only take copies; the originals stay live and untouched throughout. After the destination is verified and MX has cut over, you decide when to decommission the source, and there is no rush. Keeping the old account open for a couple of weeks after cutover costs little and is a sensible safety net.

How do you make sure no email is lost during cutover?

The source keeps receiving mail right up until MX propagates, so nothing bounces in the meantime. We lower the MX TTL to 300 seconds a day beforehand so propagation is quick, and once you have signed off on the destination a final sync picks up anything that arrived during your testing. Then MX flips. Every message that comes in during the window ends up in a mailbox on the destination.

What should I check before I sign off?

Log into two or three mailboxes on the destination webmail yourself, ideally the busiest ones. Check the folder list matches, open something old to confirm history came across, and check any alias or forwarder you rely on actually forwards. Five minutes of that is worth more than any report we could send you, and we do not touch MX until you are satisfied.

Can you migrate mailboxes for a client without them knowing it is you?

That is what the White Label tier is for. The final report and status emails carry your branding, an NDA is available, and your client never sees our name anywhere in the process. It is aimed at agencies, IT consultants and hosting resellers who handle the client relationship themselves. Volume pricing applies from ten migrations a month.
