How to import mails and address book from source

Importing emails and contacts from another email provider or address book can be a bit of a process, but I'll guide you through the general steps. Please note that the specific steps may vary depending on the email provider or address book you're using.

Importing emails:

1. Check if the email provider allows import: Before you start, check if the email provider you're using allows importing emails from another provider. Some providers may have specific requirements or limitations.
2. Export emails from the source: Go to the email provider or address book you want to import from and export your emails in a format that can be imported by your new email provider. Common formats include:
   • MBOX (a text-based format)
   • EML (a file format for individual emails)
   • CSV (a comma-separated values file)
   • PST (a proprietary format used by Microsoft Outlook)
3. Import emails into your new email provider: Log in to your new email provider and look for the "Import" or "Settings" section. Follow the instructions to upload the exported emails in the format you chose. You may need to specify the file format, folder structure, or other settings.
