Moving providers

I am looking at changing hosting providers but have a few questions about this. First of all, is there a way for me to be able to querry the mail server using php and get my list of users and passwords so I import them into the new server. Second of all, Is there a way to poll the old hosting company for my users e-mail while the DNS propagates with my new IP information? '

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mike

Query the mail server for users? Sorry, but I must ask, Are you a spammer?

RE: Moving providers

Nope, not me. I have a site I'm trying to move and need to get the e-mail accounts from one hosting provider to another. The problem is, I don't have all the e-mail passwords so I can't manually recreate the accounts.

RE: Moving providers

Just copy the /etc/passwd file over. Just make sure you change the user/group numbers to match
