Hello there, right now I’m migrating a group of websites from Site5 shared hosting to Digital Ocean’s droplets.
The only thing that is making me crazy is how to move all the email accounts and email messages from there to my droplet (I’m using Ubuntu 14.04 x64), that means that I also have to set up a mail server inside my droplets. Can somebody please give me some guidance on this? I will really appreciate it.
Regards!

I guess you don’t have access to the email server files and directories on your shared hosting. So the easiest way to migrate your emails would be to create the email accounts on the new server and then copy everything over IMAP.
