Overview<\/h2>\n

This document describes how to delete or migrate the contents of email accounts in addon domains.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • To create an email account on an addon domain, use cPanel\u2019s Email Accounts<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Email Accounts<\/em>).<\/li>\n
  • To manage an addon domain, read cPanel\u2019s Addon Domains<\/em> interface documentation (cPanel >> Home >> Domains >> Addon Domains<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n

    In the following examples:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • old_account<\/code> represents the cPanel account from<\/strong> which you wish to move the addon domain\u2019s email account or accounts.<\/li>\n
    • new_account<\/code> represents the cPanel account to<\/strong> which you wish to move the addon domain\u2019s email account or accounts.<\/li>\n
    • domain_name<\/code> represents the addon domain\u2019s name.<\/li>\n
    • email_account<\/code> represents the name of the addon domain\u2019s email account that you wish to move.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Addon domain deletion<\/h2>\n

      When you remove an addon domain, its email accounts will no longer appear in cPanel\u2019s Domains<\/em> (cPanel >> Home >> Domains >> Domains<\/em>) interface. However, the contents for these emails account still exist in the \/home\/old_account\/mail<\/code> directory.<\/p>\n

      If you wish to permanently remove the contents of these accounts, in the command line or via a Terminal session, run the following command: <\/p>\n

      \n
      rm -<\/span>R \/home\/o<\/span>ld_account\/mail\/<\/span>domain_name<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
      Addon domain moved to another account<\/h2>\n
      If you move an addon domain to a different account, you must<\/strong> add the addon domain\u2019s email accounts manually and move the contents of those email accounts manually. The email accounts must<\/strong> follow the same name and domain format that they previously followed.<\/p>\n
      Perform the following steps to migrate the contents of the mail accounts:<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. \n
        Use cPanel\u2019s Email Accounts<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Email Accounts<\/em>) to add new accounts, or run  the addpop script to manually add new email accounts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
      2. \n
        In the command line or via a Terminal session, run the following command to move all email accounts to the new account: <\/p>\n
        \n
        mv \/home\/o<\/span>ld_account\/mail\/<\/span>domain_name \/home\/<\/span>new_account\/<\/span>mail<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      3. \n
        Run the following command to change ownership of the files to the new account:<\/p>\n
        \n
        chown -<\/span>R new_account:new_account \/home\/<\/span>new_account\/mail\/<\/span>domain_name.<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      4. \n
        Verify the ownership of the email accounts after you move them. <\/p>\n
        \n
        ls -<\/span>alR \/home\/<\/span>new_account\/<\/span>mail<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
