# External online IMAP migration services (back to menu)

These services are similar to the imapsync online service I call /X. Some are an exact copy of /X, some are not, some use Imapsync, some don't.
I have no share in these free or paid services. Prices are given par mailbox and may be outdated (Last checked on Monday 11 September 2023).
