.. versionadded:: 4.2

The mail app can optionally provide translations for messages if the :ref:`translation API <machine_translation>` is enabled.

User migration
--------------

.. versionadded:: 5.9

.. important::
The `User Migration App <https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/user_migration>`_ must be installed and enabled on both
instances.

To migrate user data from one Nextcloud instance to another, use the User Migration App via the
``occ user:export`` or ``occ user:import`` command line tool.

The Mail app can migrate the following data:

- Manually added mail accounts and their respective account settings (e.g., display name, signature, quick actions, ...)
- Configured internal addresses
- Configured trusted senders
- S/MIME certificates and private keys
- General app settings like the order of mail accounts

.. note:: Provisioned mail accounts are not migrated, as they are expected to be re-provisioned on the new instance.

.. note:: The User Migration App is **not** a backup solution, as existing data is not being removed before the import process.

See the `User Migration App <https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/user_migration>`_ on the Nextcloud App Store for more
information.

==============================
Migrate data between instances
==============================

The `User Migration App <https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/user_migration>`_ lets you move your Nextcloud Groupware
data between instances.

The following data can be migrated:

- Contacts and groups
- Calendars including events, details and attendees
- Calendar app settings including appointment and proposal schedule configurations
- Mail account parameters, aliases and preferences

.. important::
The User Migration App must be installed on both instances, along with the latest version of the respective
Nextcloud Groupware app.

Once the User Migration App is installed, you can start the migration process by going to your **Personal settings**
and clicking on **Data migration** on the left side. You can choose which data you want to migrate and start the
export process. Once the export is finished, download the generated file and import it onto the new instance by going
to the same section.
