The feature “Address Importer” in cPanel provides a useful option to import email accounts using a CSV or Excel file. This feature helps to migrate all email accounts and email forwarders from one server to another. This way you can create all the email forwarders to a new server in one go.

 

CSV format

You can use the format as source and target email address separated by a delimiter comma (,).

Sample CSV file format
