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

To migrate user data from one Nextcloud instance to another, use the User Migration App via the
266+
``occ user:export`` or ``occ user:import`` command line tool.
267+
268+
The Mail app can migrate the following data:
269+
270+
- Manually added mail accounts and their respective account settings (e.g., display name, signature, quick actions, ...)
271+
- Configured internal addresses
272+
- Configured trusted senders
273+
- S/MIME certificates and private keys
274+
- General app settings like the order of mail accounts
275+
276+
.. note:: Provisioned mail accounts are not migrated, as they are expected to be re-provisioned on the new instance.
277+
278+
.. note:: The User Migration App is **not** a backup solution, as existing data is not being removed before the import process.
279+
280+
See the `User Migration App <https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/user_migration>`_ on the Nextcloud App Store for more
281+
information.

The `User Migration App <https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/user_migration>`_ lets you move your Nextcloud Groupware
6+
data between instances.
7+
8+
The following data can be migrated:
9+
10+
- Contacts and groups
11+
- Calendars including events, details and attendees
12+
- Calendar app settings including appointment and proposal schedule configurations
13+
- Mail account parameters, aliases and preferences
14+
15+
.. important::
16+
The User Migration App must be installed on both instances, along with the latest version of the respective
17+
Nextcloud Groupware app.
18+
19+
Once the User Migration App is installed, you can start the migration process by going to your **Personal settings**
20+
and clicking on **Data migration** on the left side. You can choose which data you want to migrate and start the
21+
export process. Once the export is finished, download the generated file and import it onto the new instance by going
22+
to the same section.
