FossaMail to Epyrus

Post by Giraffe » 2025-12-30, 17:58

On this PC I've been using FossaMail; on the new PC I'd like to use Epyrus as it's still maintained.
I tried using Fossa Backup and importing the result into Epyrus but it didn't do the whole job.
Is there another way?

You may want to read through this thread which discusses some of the issues in trying to bring FossaMail data over into Epyrus: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=29720

And search "fossamail epyrus" in the forum search tool for other threads that discuss trying to do this.

It is worth noting that I haven't actually tested importing Fossamail into Epyrus, and can't really guarantee it wouldn't have bugs or issues. You're free to try it at your own risk, but just be aware that this isn't something I've tested a lot.
"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind

Thank you for the information. To change I would need my address books and all of the messages, replies, saved items etc.
I'll give it a try and see what happens.
