    Wink migrate mailbox to different CPanel account

    On the same server I have a client that has multiple accounts, but he would like his mailbox copied from one account to another account. Same server, but different domain and cpanel account.

    He understands that the email address will reflect his new account.

    What is an easy way of doing this? Please explain.

    Easiest way is to have him open both accounts in an IMAP-compatible mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird and drag the messages from one account to the other. You can also copy the directory in which the mail messages are stored from one place to the other, but then you'll have to worry about file ownership and permissions. Dragging between account via IMAP eliminates those concerns.

    Yes, but the other account is to be terminated. Should have mentioned that before.

    So I could just copy the mailbox user directory over and change the permissions?
