Why Use the Email Address Importer?

• Ease of Use: Suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
• Disaster Recovery: Useful for quickly restoring email accounts after a system failure.

How to Use the Email Address Importer:

1. Prepare Your File:

   • Create a file in Excel (.xls) or CSV (.csv) format.
   • For email accounts, include columns for the email address, password, domain, and mailbox quota.
   • For forwarders, include columns for the source email address and the destination email address.

2. Log into cPanel:

   • Navigate to the Email section and click on "Address Importer".

3. Upload Your File:

   • Choose whether you are importing email accounts or forwarders.
   • Browse and select your prepared file.
   • Specify the delimiter used in your CSV file (commas, semicolons, etc.).

4. Map and Confirm Details:

   • Confirm the columns from your file (email, password, quota, etc.).
   • Assign the correct domain if needed.

5. Finish the Import:

   • Review the data to ensure everything is correct.
   • Click "Finish" to complete the import process.
   • Check the Email Accounts or Forwarders section in cPanel to see the newly created entries.

Tips for Successful Importing:

• Formatting: Ensure your file is correctly formatted with the necessary columns and delimiters.
• Headers: You can choose to treat the first row as column headers during the import process.
• Backup: Always maintain a backup of your email accounts and forwarders to prevent data loss.
