It works as follows:
* You first declare what needs to be migrated, basically the domain(s) you own and where they can be found. By doing that, you'll allow accounts hosted on the platform/provider you're migrating from to log into your Modoboa server
* The first time an old account (one coming from your previous provider) successfuly log into Modoboa, a dedicated migration task is created
* On a regular basis (every hour generally), a cron job is responsible for generating an OfflineIMAP configuration file including instructions to migrate all declared migrations and lauching OfflineIMAP to start/continue migrations
.. warning::
So, as you probably already understood, you can't migrate all your
accounts at the same time since you probably don't know their
corresponding password. Every account migration must be started by the
account's owner.

Configuration
-------------
Since Modoboa does not handle the installation of OfflineIMAP, you
Modoboa won'thandle the installation of OfflineIMAP so you
need to do it on your own. The following `instructions
<https://www.offlineimap.org/doc/quick_start.html>`_ will help you.
Once done, *the new admin interface (v2)* will let you:
* define the neccessary information to `connect to your old platform/provider <providers>`_
* define `what is to be migrated <migrations>`_ (ie. the accounts)
* customize the behaviour of OfflineIMAP : go to 'Parameters > Imap Migration' from the left menu
.. warning::
**Auto create domain** feature must be enabled to make this feature
**Auto create domain** option must be enabled to make this feature
work. Go to 'Parameters > Administration > Mailboxes' and check if
it's the case.
