    I have done this successfully in the past using IMAP In a mail client (eg Thunderbird)
    • Create an IMAP account for the ZOHO account using the details above
    • In cPanel create your new (destination) email account
    • Create an IMAP account for your new account
    • Connect to the ZOHO account and allow all the inbox, sent, etc mail boxes to populate
    • Drag the files you want to move into the new cPanel account boxes (set up any new boxes you might want prior to doing this) as necessary OR select/copy/paste as required
    You should now have copies of all the mails on your cPanel account. Please note: If the mailboxes contain a lot of mail, or you are having to move multiple accounts, this can be a laborious and slow process, especially if your internet connection is slow to/from your email client box. I did find a 5 year old feature request at Migrate IMAP mailbox to cPanel It seems to have been abandoned but you can go vote for it if you like :) Hope this helps.

    Hello @Tarak Nath, The method provided by @rpvw is the best approach, as we don't offer a native feature in cPanel & WHM to migrate emails from remote email service providers such as ZOHO. Thank you.
