Downloading compelte emails on IMAP

When moving your hosting from one web designers server to another you need to be careful not to lose all of your old emails. This can happen when a domain name is swapped over to the new server and the old IMAP emails are sitting on the old server and only the Meta data is stored on your phone. Thus making you think that the emails are actually on your phone. When in fact they email body and the attachments are all on the old server.
