I'd rather not get into email migration help with my clients.  Does anyone have people to recommend for this? It comes up sometimes when clients are changing hosts or wanting to upgrade to better systems.  Preferably local, but that's not necessary.

Thank you,

Not really an answer (sorry). But I would recommend the client/customer separate the email and web hosting. This is so 10 years ago. They can do this easy enough with DNS. The mail (MX) records should point to some different hosts think Google Apps while the normal c-name records handle the www, ftp domain routing pointed to their web host. 

Then there is not migration issue. 

Just my thoughts.

Right now I have someone who is using yahoo mail for their business (?) and need to get off of that.  So I want someone to help them get their historical emails off of there onto a new system. I am familiar with MX records.
