To avoid email downtime the following steps need
to be taken before modifying the DNS:
- Set all emails on the old server to auto-forward
to a third party email address or ISP provided
email address.
- We will create a "catchall" email on the new
server (our server) and set it to auto-forward
to the same third party email address or ISP
provided email address.
- Modify your DNS information and propagation
will begin. During this propagation period emails
will either go to the old server or to the new
server. In both the cases, emails will be instantly
forwarded to the third party email address or
ISP provided email address.
- At the end of propagation period, you may
cancel the email forwarding as well as create
more POP email accounts on the new server.
