A client of mine is selling his business and he will transfer he's hosting with website and email adresses to the new owner.
My client wants to keep his emails on his computer and delete them on the server before the new owner takes over.
However I'm not sure what is the best approach because there will be backups. My client doesn't want the new owner to have any possibility to read my clients old emails from backups.
What is the best approach, is there any differences if the emails are setup for POP3 or IMAP ?
Following are difference between POP3 and IMAP
1] POP3 -if you are keeping this option while configuring your email client,then it will directly download email from server and there will be no email copy on server once it is downloaded.
2] IMAP -if email client is configured with IMAP then it will shows just header of an email and once we click on it, it will download email from server. Copy of email will be there on server after download even.

For our domain(mydomain.com) , we have an Office 365 account that takes care of emails and the website is hosted with a hosting company on a shared server. From my shared server Laravel App I was sending emails using the office 365 SMTP server. The hosting company now blocks this connection to office 365 SMTP server:
"Please note that your account is hosted on a shared server where outgoing SMTP connections are restricted. This is to protect the reputation of the server IP address and prevent potential spamming.
You canconsider upgrading to a cloud server plan"
I do not wish to upgrade to a cloud server plan, are there any other options for an SMTP server ? , that my Laravel app could use ? I have a reseller account with many cpanel accounts on the shared server. So i could use another one of my domains smtp server but I need the emails sent out to be from an office 365 email address. So contact#mydomain.com. Possible solutions ?
If you are sending emails, its actually not recommended to use the SMTP server used by your normal email provider (e.g. Office 365, GMail).
Instead you should use a transactional email service, which is designed for sending a large number of emails programically.
See:
Sendgrid
Amazon SES
If you are unable to send emails using a particular port (which seems to be your issue), feel free to send emails user their respective API's:
Sendgird:
https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/api-getting-started/
and https://sendgrid.com/docs/api-reference/
Amazon SES: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-api.html
This will still use the usual HTTP ports, and use different ip's, therefore bypass any port & ip restrictions when sending emails.
I've recently moved my web and email hosting to a new supplier and am ready to repoint my Domain name from the old host to the new one.
My worry is that when a change the POP3 and SMTP server settings on my Outlook accounts, the mail boxes will either empty or become unreadable in some way.
The email address will be the same, e.g.
bob#domain.com
but the underling servers will be different, e.g.
pop3.oldhost.com --> pop3.newhost.com
Will the emails retrieved from the new host simply start accumulating in my existing Outlook inbox, or will it start putting them in a different place?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Due to server change, I need to make another account in Outlook so that it can take over when the new server is up and running.
I have created the new email address on the new server, but when I try to create it in outlook, I can't make an account with the same email address despite that the servers for in and out are different from the current server.
How to solve this?
If that is an Exchange account, you won't have much luck - autodiscover will redirect to the active server. You cannot explicitly specify the serve parameters.
I want to send emails from my Pc(Localhost) to external servers like gmail,hotmail or yahoomail.
There are option to send email using Gmail/Yahoomail SMTP settings but i do not want to use any SMTP setting because of there daily limits.
And we also do not want to buy any email/newsletter services.
We want to create it Fully Free in our PC(Localhost).
Please tell us how can do it using Xampp and any open-source softwares.
I am working on .net applicaton that need to send emails to clients. I am trying to figure out what would be that best solution to send emails. Here is what i have considered. Could you please suggest what would be the best way to go for?
1>Windows server 2008 in built smtp
service.
2>Exchange server hosted in our
datacenter.
3>Use google apps for sending
emails(Basically same as gmail like
for custom domain).
I have explored all options and below are findings.
1>I think would be way to go. Also
supports drop in directory to send
emails so can achieve disconnected
email activity.
2>Application would be tied up with
availability of exchange server and
we dont have any exchange server
support personal. Only developers
poke around in exchange server and
got it working. So if option 1 is as
good as 2 then would like to go with 1.
Is there any drop in directory feature in exchange server like 1?
3>Tried gmail smtp stuff didnt
work. I was receiving timeout error.
Also there is no guarantee that
gmail will send our mail
reliability. They can decide anytime
to stop sending our mails as we are
using free standard version of
google apps.
Other questions:
I installed smtp service in windows server 2008. Now to use this do i need to change any MX record and anything? What i need to do so it can send email using my domain name. Or it can send email for any domain?
I would use a hybrid of 1 and 2. Use local SMTP, but have it relay to your exchange server. Emails will queue if it can't relay to exchange and you have one server(s) that handle all of your outgoing/incoming mail. This support doc explains this setup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303734
You only need an MX record if you'll be receiving mail from that domain too.
I would also put in a reverse DNS entry for your domain, which will help with spam detection.
