| Mar 4, 2014 at 9:03 | comment | added | L Platts | Thank you for all of these comments and answers which are really helpful. From the discussion it looks to me as though the question is both technical and about specifically academic workflow and institutional requirements. I'm very satisfied with the answers from this community. | |

| Mar 3, 2014 at 18:55 | comment | added | Piotr Migdal | @StrongBad If it is a question on workflow, then I agree it is a good for Academia.SE. If is is "how to synchronize/migrate email accounts" - I think that there are more on-topic places, with technically more competent community to answer this question. In any case, a clarification highlighting the question would be great. | |

| Mar 3, 2014 at 16:59 | comment | added | Faheem Mitha | This might be a better fit on superuser. It is essentially a technical question about email handling. In my experience horrible proprietary systems like Lotus Notes are particularly problematic. | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 16:47 | comment | added | StrongBad | @PiotrMigdal email usage in academia is different in at least 3 respects: (1) university email accounts are often used for both personal and work reasons, (2) we generally claim a stake in the IP contained in the email, and (3) we often have short appointments making changing email accounts more frequent. | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 16:41 | comment | added | Emme | I would recommend that you look into this option presented by Amit Agarwal on his blog How to Transfer Mails from one Email Account to another for Free. He addresses all your points. Good luck! | |

I don't know if this question is relevant to Academia.SE (it is about migration/backup of e-mail from different accounts). Anyway: use gmail (or any other similar service) to download emails from your previous account (for working account you can do it in the other way: autoforward), OR export emails from web client (as mbox, csv or anything sane). In any case, don't forget about it, because emails are very valuable.

| Mar 3, 2014 at 13:48 | comment | added | dearN | This may sound a wee bit techical but have you tried "backing up" your email using thunderbird? I remember that being quite straighforward. I could download all my emails as .txt or .rtf files into one single folder. | |
