 +==== eMail Accounts ====
 +If you had a panel in your last host then your accounts would have been transferred and in most cases all your email too. Always check that this is a case, we provide you with access to your email accounts to our system even without DNS.
 +
 +For hosts that do not use a panel or they use a panel that doesn't allow for the transfer you have two options:
 +  * Transfer all current email locally to one of your workstations and then transfer them back to our mail server.
 +    * Our mail servers should detect you are dumping old archives so they should allow you to make up to 300 connections simultaneously.
 +  * Our support can do the transfer for you, we will transfer all emails from the old server to the new one.
 +    * <wrap em>During the process your email will be unencrypted and technically our support is able to read it. In 90% of the cases our engineers will not have to look at the messages during the process but if errors occur we cant avoid it. You will be notified immediately.</wrap>

 +===== Common Questions =====
 +=?== Time on previous host ====
 +??? Why do I need to have time on my previous host?
 +!!! It will make the transition a lot smoother, this way your site will always be visible even for visitors that have older DNS records cached or their ISP hasn't updated the zone yet.
 +=?== Access to data ====
 +??? Will you have access to my data during the process?
 +!!! Unfortunately in many cases your data will be readable by our engineers during the transfer process. During this time your data has not yet been encrypted with your key and the web server reads it unencrypted. If you would like to avoid that we can arrange so that you do your own transfer but please note this is a technical task and if any errors occur we may have to charge you for the time needed to resolve any issues that arise.
 +??? Can I somehow protect files during the process?
 +!!! You can always encrypt your files directly as long as they are not needed for the function of the site. You can even dumb SQL tables and import them after the DB is installed as long as those tables are not needed for your site to function.
