Changed my MX record in Bluehost to now point to Google hosting, How do I get all old emails from Bluehost?
Posted on Aug 17, 2009 under Bluehost.com | 4 CommentsI moved my email from Bluehost to Google Hosting, so I changed my MX record in Bluehost to now point to "aspmx.l.google.com." However
(a) Bluehost does not allow the "." in the end, which Google says is important..although I could now get my emails in my Google account
(b) I cannot get all the old emails from Bluehost onto the Google account..Note that Google’s mail fetcher wont work since I am not moving to a new domain…
Can someone please help me especially with (b) above…

For part B, you’ll need to open a mail client and add your Google mailbox using IMAP. You’ll also need to add your Bluehost mailbox using IMAP as well. I don’t know what the address is for Bluehost; but, I’m sure it’s something like mail.bluehost.com–if not, just contact their support and ask them how to connect to their mail server without using your domain. Then just download all your Bluehost emails to your email client. Once finished, you’ll basically select all those emails, then drag them to the Google inbox, and let it transfer. It will probably take a while so give it some time.

That . is very important. Without it, it will assume you’re trying to connect to a subdomain of your own website. So definitely talk to Bluehost about how you can get that added into the DNS zone file.
