Changing email providers looks simple until you try it. Manually moving years' worth of messages between inboxes takes time and formatting, attachments, and folders are often lost. This review puts a specialist DataVare mail migration tool through a real, step-by-step test to see how well it transfers emails between accounts without the usual inconveniences.

• Before permanently shutting down an email account, you want a personal backup.
• It takes a lot of time to manually forward or download emails one at a time.
• Folders, attachments and formatting must be preserved throughout the transfer.
Manually doing this typically entails exporting, reformatting and re-uploading data, all of which are laborious and prone to mistakes. A migration program lowers these risks by automating the entire procedure.

Practical Example
Farhan, the owner of a small design company, had to switch his team's email accounts from an antiquated webmail system to a more contemporary platform before a client deadline. Because there were so many old project emails, manual forwarding was not an option.
He used the preview screen to check everything, set up the source and destination accounts in the tool and chose full-folder migration. While he worked, the tool operated in the background.
All employees' emails, together with their folders and attachments, had been successfully moved at the end of the day. In a matter of hours, a procedure that may have taken days was finished.
