FAQ

Can I move from Google Workspace to Chebu?
Yes. Import your mailboxes over IMAP, then point your domain's MX record at Chebu when you're ready. For a whole team, list the accounts on one IMAP host and import them together. Each import shows its status in settings.
Can I keep Google Docs and use Chebu for email?
Yes. Chebu works alongside the tools you already use. Moving your mail only changes your mail records, not the rest of your setup.
