+Move Account\r
+============\r
+\r
+* [Home](help)\r
+\r
+\r
+! **this is an experimental feature**\r
+\r
+** How to move an account between servers **\r
+\r
+Go to "Settings" -> "[Export personal data](uexport)"\r
+Click on "Export account" to save your account data.\r
+This file contains your details, your contacts, groups, and personal settings.\r
+It contains also your secret keys to authenticate yourself to your contacts:\r
+**save this file in a secure place**!\r
+\r
+Go to your new server, and open *http://newserver.com/uimport* (there is not a \r
+direct link to this page at the moment).\r
+\r
+Load your saved account file and click "Import".\r
+\r
+Friendica will recreate your account on new server, with your contacts and groups.\r
+A message is sent to Friendica contacts, to inform them about your move: if your\r
+contacts are runnning on an updated server, automatically your details on their\r
+side will be updated.\r
+Contacts on Statusnet/Identi.ca or Diaspora will be archived, as we can't inform\r
+them about your move.\r
+You should ask them to remove your contact from their lists and readd you, and you\r
+should do the same with their contact.\r
+\r
+After the move, the account on the old server will not work reliably anymore, and\r
+should be not used.\r
