So you're looking at moving to atmail and need to know how that happens.
The first thing you'll need to do (if you haven't already) is sign up to our customer portal.

Our cloud offering takes the hassle and cost of managing your own infrastructure off your hands. The starter plan includes the following, for only $79/month:
- Dedicated support
- 500GB storage quota
- First 50 users included
- Maintenance, Security, Updates & Disaster Recovery Backups all handled
- Built in anti-virus and spam filtering
- Custom domain and branding
If you need more users you can just add them as necessary. The billing system charges based on active users. If you're over the starter plan's 50 users it's just an extra $2 per user.
The 3 basic steps for your move are:
Setting up your service Migrate Discontinuing your old service
Setting up the new service
Now that you're signed up to the customer portal, creating a cloud account is easy.
When you log in to the customer portal you will see the Dashboard:

Migrating to atmail cloud
Migration is really easy when you make use of third party services.
Depending on your requirements there a few options:
www.yippiemove.com - For the least effort and technical experience. You'll get mail accounts migrated individually or in batches.
Using IMAPSync - This is the preferred option for most technical people as it provides the most control.
Or if you're specifically migrating from Gmail, we have a guide for that too:
Migrating from Gmail
Once you've finished the mailbox migration you just need to change your MX records over so your mail starts flowing to the right mailbox:
Discontinuing your old service
This one is completely up to you. Once you're migrated you might want to cancel your previous service to avoid double billing. Unless of course you wanted to keep the older service as a backup.
on-premises
If you need the control and flexibility of your own mailserver (or servers if you want to scale) then our on-premises product is for you.
Once you're set up, your license allows for:
- Extensive customization to the webmail client
- Additional installations for testing and replication\redundancy
- Exceptional control over user limitations
- Third Party Plugins (or create your own!)
- Easy creation of your own spam filtering rules
The 3 basic steps for your move are:
Setting up your service Migrate Discontinuing your old service
Setting up the new service
If you only need the webmail client (you're already running a mailserver) installation is easy. Just check the current system meets our System Requirements and follow the Installation Guide.
Alternatively, if you're looking for our complete stack (Webmail Client, Dovecot, Exim, ClamAV and SpamAssassin) you can check that your system meets these System Requirements and follow this Installation Guide.
