 rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm
 yum install imapsync

2) Migration :

First you need to arrange the email accounts for following order 

 “oldusername” “oldpassword” “newusername” “newpassword”

 /usr/bin/imapsync –host1 old.mailserver.com –user1 test@domain.com –password1 mypasswd –host2 new.mailserver.com –user2 test@domain.com –password2 mypasswd

For example 

  imapsync --host1 imap.everyone.net --user1 contabilidad@premper.net --passfile1 /etc/secret1 --ssl1 -port1 993 --host2 95.217.195.81 --user2 contabilidad@premper.net --passfile2 /etc/secret2

 Host1 --- IP address or host name of the old account
 User1 ---old email address
 Passfile1 -- old account password
 Host2 -- IP address or host name of the new account
 User2 -- New email address
 Passfile2 -- New account password
