Autonomous configuration of email clients during email server migration

A system for facilitating electronic mail clients to migrate from a first source system to a first destination system, the electronic mail clients including a first electronic mail client being executed on a first computing system, wherein a mail assistant application is also being executed on the, first computing system, the system comprising a processor configured by machine-readable instructions to cause the system to perform:

• obtaining first user information regarding a first user that is using the system, the first user information including an identification associated with the first user;
• sending the first user information to a remote computer, wherein the remote computer is separate and distinct from the system;
• receiving first destination system information regarding the first user, the first destination system information indicating an account of the first user at the first destination system;
• sending one or more requests to receive user credential information;
• obtaining a credential associated with the first user for logging into the first source system based on received credential information;
• causing, by the mail assistant application, the credential to be confirmed by a logging into the first destination system or the first source system using the credential and the account of the first user at the first destination system;
• after a confirmation of the credential, generating, first configuration information for automatically connecting the first electronic mail client to the first destination system;
• effectuating the connection of the first electronic mail client to the first destination system using the first configuration information;
• receiving, at the mail assistant application from the remote computer, information regarding the first user, the information indicating an address of the first user at a second destination system;
• causing, by the mail assistant application, the credential to be confirmed by a logging into the second destination system using the credential and the address of the first user at the second destination system;
• after a confirmation of the credential, generating, by the mail assistant application, second configuration information for automatically connecting the first electronic mail client to the second destination system;
• effectuating, by the mail assistant, the connection of the first electronic mail client to the first destination system using the second configuration information;
• obtaining, by the mail assistant application, an order key associated with the first user;
• and
• sending the order key to the remote computer for verification.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for facilitating electronic mail clients to migrate from a first source system to a first destination system, the electronic mail clients including a first electronic mail client being executed on a first computing system, wherein a mail assistant application is also being executed on the, first computing system, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• code for obtaining first user information regarding a first user that is using the first computing system, the first user information including an identification associated with the first user;
• code for sending the first user information to a remote computer, wherein the remote computer is separate and distinct from first computing system;
• code for receiving first destination system information regarding the first user, the first destination system information indicating an account of the first user at the first destination system;
• code for sending one or more requests to receive user credential information;
• code for obtaining a credential associated with the first user for logging into the first source system based on received credential information;
• code for causing, by the mail assistant application, the credential to be confirmed by a logging into the first destination system or the first source system using the credential and the account of the first user at the first destination system;
• after a confirmation of the credential, code for generating first configuration information for automatically connecting the first electronic mail client to the first destination system, wherein the first electronic mail client is being executed on the first computing system;
• code for effectuating the connection of the first electronic mail client to the first destination system using the first configuration information;
• code for receiving, at the mail assistant application from the remote computer, information regarding the first user, the information indicating an address of the first user at a second destination system;
• code for causing, by the mail assistant application, the credential to be confirmed by a logging into the second destination system using the credential and the address of the first user at the second destination system;
• code for after a confirmation of the credential, generating, by the mail assistant application, second configuration information for automatically connecting the first electronic mail client to the second destination system;
• code for effectuating, by the mail assistant, the connection of the first electronic mail client to the first destination system using the second configuration information;
• code for obtaining, by the mail assistant application, an order key associated with the first user;
• and
• code for sending the order key to the remote computer for verification.
