Migrate GoDaddy Workspace Email to another provider

1. 1

   Identify the product

   In your GoDaddy account, open the email product. "Workspace Email" is GoDaddy's own service and works with this tool. "Microsoft 365" is Microsoft's service resold by GoDaddy and does not.

2. 2

   Confirm IMAP is offered

   In the setup details of your plan, look for an IMAP incoming server. If only POP3 is listed, the plan does not support IMAP and a copy over IMAP is not possible.

3. 3

   Have the full address and password ready

   GoDaddy uses the mailbox password with no separate app password. Reset it from the email management page if you no longer remember it.

4. 4

   Run the tool

   Open the tool with GoDaddy as the source, enter each address and password and test the logins. You can add up to 10 mailboxes per batch.

5. 5

   Create the destination and confirm

   The destination mailboxes must exist. Open the confirmation message in each destination inbox and the copy starts. Run it again later to pick up mail that arrives meanwhile.

GoDaddy lists imap.secureserver.net for Workspace Email. If your plan shows only a POP3 incoming server, that plan does not offer IMAP and the tool cannot read it.

Passwords are used once. They travel encrypted to an isolated job that copies the mail and is deleted afterwards. They are never stored, logged or sent back.

• Login rejected on a Microsoft 365 mailbox

  Microsoft 365 mailboxes use a different sign-in method and the tool cannot connect to them yet. This is a limit of the tool, not of your password. Use a Microsoft-supported migration route for those mailboxes for now.

• Authentication failed on Workspace Email

  Check that the username is the full address, then reset the mailbox password in GoDaddy and try again. Mind any password manager that adds spaces when pasting.

• The server does not answer

  Confirm that your plan really includes IMAP, and that you used port 993 with SSL/TLS. Older plans or legacy accounts may expose different server names in the GoDaddy settings.

• Some mailboxes work, others do not

  Each mailbox has its own password and may belong to a different product on the same domain. Test them one by one: the tool tells you which login fails before it moves anything.

For Workspace Email the tool copies the messages of every folder, with dates and read state, through plain IMAP. The address book, calendar and any rules or forwards you set up in GoDaddy webmail are not part of the mailbox and are not copied. Domain registration and DNS records remain with GoDaddy until you choose to change them, so the old mailbox keeps working while you test the new one.

• Free, no signup

  No account and no payment. It copies up to 10 mailboxes per batch.

• Passwords are used once

  They serve that copy and are never stored. Nothing is deleted from the source mailbox either.

• The destination must be yours

  We leave a confirmation message in the destination inbox. The copy starts only when you open it.

• IMAP migration tool

  Any source and destination, with every provider and the limits.

• cPanel / Plesk / ISPConfig

  Hosting with cPanel, Plesk or ISPConfig.

• Gmail

  Gmail and Google Workspace with an app password.

• Yahoo Mail

  Yahoo Mail with an app password.

• Professional email at Hostbrid

  If Hostbrid is where the mail is going, see the email plans.
