This guide explains how to transfer to Infomaniak email addresses currently hosted by Yahoo.

Preamble

• The operation does not affect either the data already present on the destination address, nor that of the source address.
• Any duplicates are managed: identical content will only be copied once.
• If necessary, local partners referenced by Infomaniak can handle these procedures: launch a free call for tenders; they take care of everything, freeing you from the technical details.
