Migrating from Zimbra to Axigen for BCHATI's e-mail user

Dear all,

In terms of searching for a better solution on our e-mailing activity, we are launching new @bchati.sch.id e-mail server, powered by Axigen.
This e-mail server will not be affected by power outage nor internet disconnection at SSE Building.

For you who interested and want to switch to our new server, please follow these steps :

A. Backup Your Old e-Mail First!

The main goal in this backup part is moving all your old @bchati.sch.id e-mail messages from Zimbra server Inbox  to your computer (in Thunderbird this is called : Local Folder)
If you are using Mozilla Thunderbird, this can be done by following these steps :

1. Right click at Local Folders section on your left side of your Thunderbird main window.

















2. Enter any folder name that you want in the Name field and create it as a subfolder of : Local Folders













3. Go back to your inbox, select ALL your e-mail messages, and then do a right click on that selection, choose menu : Move To - Local Folders - Your recently created folder name

After you have moved ALL your e-mail messages from your inbox, you may proceed to part B. If you skip this backup part, then you will get duplicate e-mail messages in your inbox after migration completed.

B. Start Migrating Your E-Mail Account from Zimbra Mail Server to Axigen Mail Server

Attention! You will not get any new e-mail messages from Zimbra Mail Server after your have successfully migrated your e-mail account to Axigen Mail Server. Please follow my instruction on part C to get your Mozilla Thunderbird application pointed to Axigen Mail Server.

If you are ready to migrate your e-mail account, please follow these steps :

1. Open this url : http://listra.bchati.sch.id with your web browser (eg. Mozilla Firefox)
2. When login page is displayed, simply enter your e-mail address as the username, and your current e-mail password. You may enter your e-mail address with or without @bchati.sch.id
3. Your old e-mail messages at Zimbra mail server will be migrated automatically to Axigen mail server right after you have logged in
4. Inside the Axigen webmail, click on Settings menu (top right corner, beside logout menu)






5. Open : Remote Mail tab





6. Click on +Add button.
7. Fill the details below :

  • Remote Account Name : ZIMBRA

  • Click on Add button
