Does The Email Migration Delete Any Emails?

Last Updated: 2 November 2025

No, the email migration won’t remove any emails from the mail server where emails are being migrated from or any emails on the AeroWave Hosting mail server. It’s a ‘non-destructive’ form of migration, so emails won’t be duplicated or deleted. Changes will simply be added into the emails already at AeroWave Hosting.

Will The Email Migration Tool Cause Downtime To My Emails?

Last Updated: 2 November 2025

No, the email migration won’t cause any downtime to emails. It doesn’t affect DNS or the ability to send or receive emails: it simply performs an IMAP sync to move emails from one server to another. There will be no downtime caused by the use of the email migration tool.
