Migrate from Proton Mail

# Move from Proton Mail to OpenEmail.

Run Proton's Export Tool, zip the folder it writes and upload it here. Folders, labels, threads and dates come across as they were. Then point your domain at OpenEmail, and new mail follows.

   Add your domain here, or pick an address you already have. The mail is filed under it.
3. 03
   
   Zip and upload
   
   Compress the folder the tool wrote, then open Migrations, choose From a file and upload the .zip. You can close the page while it runs.
