Troubleshooting & Common Questions
Where do I find the mail server address for my provider?
➡️ Simply enter your email address in the field username. The MailJerry tool will automatically guess the correct mail server.
In case you cannot connect with your email account, google “[your provider name] imap server settings” to find the correct mail server address or ask your provider.
I’m migrating data from / to Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365 or Outlook!
➡️ For these providers, it might be necessary to setup your account before starting the email migration to or from GoDaddy.
But don’t worry, the MailJerry tool will show you step-by-step which actions need to be performed! Enter the email address for your account in the field username and you’ll be shown an easy-to-follow instruction.
How long does the GoDaddy email migration take?
➡️ The speed of the migration depends on the speed of your mail server and the GoDaddy mail server. Usually, GoDaddy does not throttle the data transmission, however, some providers – especially Gmail – do. Therefore, for large mailboxes, it might take some time until the GoDaddy email migration is completed.
This is absolutely nothing to worry about. You can simply shut down the software and check back some time later. The GoDaddy email migration will automatically be performed in the cloud, even if you shut down your computer.
