Original Summary

Hey everyone! I run a small site called Waitless where I'm building a few tiny SaaS tools under one account. The newest one is a mailbox migration tool, and I'd love some honest feedback before I start charging for it. The problem Moving email from one provider to another is still painful for small businesses. Hosting changes, a switch to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, an agency moving a client's domain. The classic answer is imapsync, which is great but means a command line and a server. The hosted alternatives are fine but not cheap when you just need to move one or two mailboxes. What it does - Copies every folder, message, read/flagged status and original date from one IMAP account to another - Works with any IMAP server: Gmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud, cPanel, Plesk, local hosts - Resumable: progress is saved after every message, so you can pause, close the tab and continue later - Skips messages that are already on the destination, so re-running it right before a DNS switch only copies what's new - Maps Sent, Drafts, Trash and Junk between providers and translates folder separators - Never touches the source: it's opened read-only - Logs every skipped message with the reason (duplicate, too large, gone from the server) The slightly unusual part I wrote a small IMAP client over raw sockets, and the migration runs in short bursts inside normal HTTP requests, with a database lock so two workers never overlap. While the dashboard is open it keeps going on its own, and an optional cron URL keeps it running with the browser closed. My first real run is a mailbox with 90 folders and about 18,000 messages between two different providers. About passwords I know I'm asking you to type mailbox credentials into a site you've never heard of. They're stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), only used for that job, and deleted when you delete the job. Gmail and Microsoft 365 need an app password anyway, which you can revoke as soon as the migration is done. I'd recommend exactly that. It's free during the test No limits, no card. Planned pricing afterwards is €9 per mailbox or €49/month for agencies (20 mailboxes). Try it: https://www.waitless.it/imap/ What I'd really like to know Would you pay €9 per mailbox for this, or does it feel like something that should be free? Which providers should I test first? Anything that breaks, please tell me. Is the "runs on shared hosting" angle interesting, or irrelevant to anyone buying it? Anything in the dashboard that's confusing? Bugs and ideas are welcome here in the comments. Thanks for reading.   submitted by   /u/giancarlo-spadini [link]   [comments]
