Is there any how to migrate all mail' accounts to one device to another? Please help.

I've more then 8 mail accounts. I do not want to do this one by one.

Assuming that you use IMAP mailboxes, all your email remains accessible on the respective email servers. As such, it is totally unnecessary to copy downloaded mail; instead, when you set-up the email account(s) on your new device, all mail stored on the email server(s) becomes accessible to the new device.


As such, in context of email, you moving from one device to another is a relatively trivial task.


I hope this clarification is helpful
