# Migrating Classic Mail Handlers

Classic Mail Handlers cannot be migrated from Server to Cloud in one procedure, because Classic Mail Handlers don’t have a counterpart on Cloud.

Classic Mail Handlers are being deprecated and will be removed from the Server/Data Center versions soon. We recommend that you convert your Classic Mail Handlers to Next Generation Mail Handlers first while still on a Server/Data Center instance, and only migrate the settings to your Cloud instance afterwards.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.meta-inf.hu/email-this-issue/email-this-issue-for-jira-server-data-center/server-to-cloud-migration/server-to-cloud-manual-migration-guide-for-email-this-issue/migrating-incoming-settings/migrating-classic-mail-handlers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
