Hello

I need to migrate 800 accounts from Cpanel to DirectAdmin - But what will happen with users passwords, for example all their email accounts, Will they retain their current passwords or will they be replaced ?
 
Normally their passwords for mail will be retained so for mail there should be no isseus normally.

However, there is something else to keep in mind.
Check the maximum length of a mysql database account. In cPanel the username part is often more than 10 characters. You might need to raise that maximum in directadmin where it's like username_databasename but max. 10 characters for the username which might lead to issues on imports.
You can change the max. username length in the directadmin.conf file.
I would suggest to check this and import 1 account first to test.
