- newscracker 10y agoThat's useful only if the provider you're moving to supports importing mail. As mentioned in my comment, some of the privacy focused ones do not (or are yet to) support importing existing mails.
- fredfisch 10y agoOk, I misread your comment then. I thought you meant some sort of a tool/web gui which fastmail provides but others don't. Do those privacy focused providers even prohibit the import of mails via IMAP from your local computer? At least for isync/mbsync this not relevant and it seems to me that this a very basic operation of the IMAP protocol... (I'm not a CS person, don't weigh my words.)
- newscracker 10y agoYes, the ones I mentioned as not supporting mail import do not provide any method to import and don't support IMAP either.
