    There's a very nice article on Migrating via the Plesk Interface in the documentation.

    Using this technique here is it possible to do a server migration, verify everything is working and so switch over DNS records, and then once you're happy, re-migration the mail content only and update DNS? I'm thinking about:

    1. Validating everything with the transfer has worked ahead of updating DNS
    2. But also trying to move Email 'cleanly' and not lose mail sent to the old server while DNS updated

    The article reference says nothing about being able to select which parts are moved, only that it is entire subscription by subscription
