Batch Email Migration
Up-scale email transfers.
Are you planning to migrate a large number of email accounts? If so, our Batch Email Migration-tool is for you. The benefits of using our Batch Migration include:
- Enter user credentials using a CSV-file instead of the web interface.
- Get a single invoice for all transfers.
- Near-realtime transfer status.
- Ability to prioritize accounts (high, medium and low)
- Last, but not least volume discount.
As Simple as 1-2-3.
Just because you are transferring 10, 100 or even a 1,000 accounts it doesn't have to be difficult. Just follow these easy steps.
1. Download and fill out the CSV-file
Create a YippieMove Account and download the CSV-template.
You can find out more about the IMAP settings for various providers here.

| Field | Value |
| src_username | The username for the source server |
| src_password | The password for the source server |
| src_host | The address to the source server (eg. mail.company.com) |
| src_port | The port on the source server. The port number is usually either 143 or 993 |
| src_ssl | True or false |
| dst_username | The username for the destination server |
| dst_password | The password for the destination server |
| dst_host | The address to the destination server (eg. mail.company.com) |
| dst_port | The port on the destination server. The port number is usually either 143 or 993 |
| dst_ssl | True or false |
| prefix | Append a prefix to the destination folders. (eg. If you enter 'old,' the folder 'inbox' will be named 'old/inbox' on the destination server). Leave blank for no prefix. |
| owner | This field is only required if you're sending your CSV-file by email to us. Otherwise leave this field blank. If you're emailing your file, enter the email address you used when signing up for your YippieMove-account. |
| exclude | Enter the folders you wish to exclude. Use '|' as a separator, eg. folder1|folder2. |
Example 1: Gmail to Google Apps
If you were to move from Gmail to Google Apps, your CSV-file would look something similar to this:
| src_username | src_password | src_host | src_port | src_ssl | dst_username | dst_password | dst_host | dst_port | dst_ssl | prefix | owner | exclude |
| jdoe@gmail.com | mypassword | imap.gmail.com | 993 | True | jdoe@mydomain.com | mypassword | imap.gmail.com | 993 | True |
As you can see, we left the 'prefix,' 'owner,' and 'exclude' fields empty.
Example 2: Yahoo to Gmail
If you were to move from Yahoo to Gmail, your CSV-file would look something similar to this:
| src_username | src_password | src_host | src_port | src_ssl | dst_username | dst_password | dst_host | dst_port | dst_ssl | prefix | owner | exclude |
| jdoe@yahoo.com | mypassword | imap.mail.yahoo.com | 143 | False | jdoe@gmail.com | mypassword | imap.gmail.com | 993 | True |
Example 3: Between two private IMAP servers
If you were to move between two private IMAP servers, your CSV-file would look something similar to this:
| src_username | src_password | src_host | src_port | src_ssl | dst_username | dst_password | dst_host | dst_port | dst_ssl | prefix | owner | exclude |
| jdoe | mypassword | oldserver.company.com | 143 | False | jdoe | mypassword | newserver.company.com | 993 | True |
2. Submit the CSV-file.
Once you have the CSV-file ready, you're ready to get started with your migration. Just go to our Batch Control Center and you will be prompted to upload your CSV-file. The upload is fully encrypted using SSL, so the transfer is secure. Once you have uploaded your CSV-file, our servers will automatically start validating the accounts in the file. If everything clears, you're just one payment away from starting the transfer.
Visit the Batch Control Panel.
While using the Batch Control Panel is the preferred method of managing batch migrations, we also accept CSV-files per email. To make the transfer of the file more secure, you might want to consider encrypting your email with GnuPG or PGP. Our public key is available here.
For new users, the Batch Control Panel is limited to batches of 25 accounts. If you are intending to transfer more than 25 accounts, we kindly ask you to contact our sales team per email or phone. When you do contact our sales team, please have the following information available.
- What is the average mailbox size?
- What is the average mailbox message count?
- When do you want to start the migration?
- When do you need the migration to be done?
Based on these factors, we will generate an invoice and get back to you as soon as possible.
