Email migration
Migrate your email from IONOS
IONOS uses a different server in each country. You don’t need to know which one: we work it out from your domain and copy all your mail to the new mailbox.
Server settings
You don’t have to type these in — we work them out from your email address. They’re here for transparency, or in case your provider uses different values.
| IMAP server | Port | Security |
|---|---|---|
IONOS (DE)imap.ionos.de | 993 | SSL/TLS |
IONOS (IT)imap.ionos.it | 993 | SSL/TLS |
IONOS (ES)imap.ionos.es | 993 | SSL/TLS |
IONOS (FR)imap.ionos.fr | 993 | SSL/TLS |
IONOS (UK)imap.ionos.co.uk | 993 | SSL/TLS |
IONOS (US)imap.ionos.com | 993 | SSL/TLS |
Username: your full email address
Good to know before you start
The server depends on the country of your contract — for example imap.ionos.co.uk in the UK or imap.ionos.com in the US. Older 1&1 contracts work the same way.
The username is your full email address and the password is the mailbox’s own, set in the IONOS control panel under Email.
If you’re transferring the domain too, remember that mail keeps arriving at IONOS until you change the MX records — run the final top-up after the switch.
How it works
Enter your IONOS address and password: we recognise the server and count your emails.
Tell us your new mailbox: we check we can sign in before asking for any payment.
Pay once and watch the copy live. Your IONOS mailbox stays exactly as it is.
Frequently asked questions
I’ve forgotten my IONOS mailbox password. What now?
You can reset it in the IONOS control panel, in the Email section, then use it for the check on Migrabox.
Does it work with IONOS Mail Basic?
Yes — with any IONOS mailbox that has IMAP access, which is all the standard ones.
