Hey guys, recently we've decided to migrate to AWS due to downtime of the current hosting. We have a WHM with around 30 websites and a lot of emails. We want to migrate everything to AWS in the best possible and safest way in order to keep all the data we have. I have a few questions we've noticed that the best way is to use the Transfer Tool but can you please let me know if the transfer tool keeps the email passwords as we have a lot of people using emails and we want to avoid having their passwords changed etc. Also is there anything which we should be aware of before initiating a migration? Thank you!

  The Transfer Tool keeps email passwords intact so that will not be a problem.

  I don't know much about AWS but you should check that port 25 is open.

  Details on the port 25 issue are here: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-port-25-throttle

  You'll want to ensure that works or you won't be able to send email from the server.
