Multiple Email accounts migration to Microsoft 365 or Office 365

Your organization can perform email migration to Microsoft 365 or Office 365 from a variety of other systems. Administrators can migrate mailboxes from Exchange Server, Google Workspace, or IMAP-enabled email systems. Users can import their email, contacts, and other mailbox information. Alternatively, you can work with a partner to migrate email. Here's a structured overview of different migration methods, tools available, and helpful resources.

Migration options overview

Cutover Migration to Microsoft 365

Cutover migration is suitable for small and medium-sized organizations looking to move all mailboxes at once. This method works for Exchange, IMAP-enabled systems, and even Google Workspace, allowing the migration of all emails, contacts, and calendars.

Staged Migration to Microsoft 365

Staged migration is ideal for larger organizations needing to migrate mailboxes in batches over time, particularly from Exchange and Google Workspace. This method is suitable for organizations with over 2,000 mailboxes.

Hybrid Migration to Microsoft 365

Hybrid migration allows the coexistence of on-premises and cloud-based mailboxes. It’s suited for organizations using Exchange 2010 or later and requiring phased migration.

IMAP Migration to Microsoft 365

IMAP migration works for organizations using systems like Gmail, Zimbra, Yahoo Mail, or any other IMAP-enabled platform. However, only email is migrated; contacts and calendars must be migrated manually.

Google Migration to Microsoft 365

Google Workspace users can migrate their emails, contacts, and calendars to Microsoft 365 using either native Google migration tools or third-party services.

PST file import

Organizations with many large PST files can use Microsoft 365’s Import Service to transfer email data.

Work with a partner for Email Migration

When your organization requires professional help, working with a Microsoft-certified partner ensures a smooth migration process.
