Overview and Complexity of a Move
Moving from POP3, IMAP or on-premises mail server to Microsoft 365 migration services can be a complex and challenging process. Here are some of the steps and complications involved:
- Assess the current email environment and determine the best migration method. There are different options depending on the source server, the number of mailboxes, the size of the data, and the desired features. Some of the migration methods are cutover, staged, hybrid, IMAP, and third-party tools.
- Prepare the source and destination servers for migration. This may include configuring DNS records, verifying domain ownership, creating user accounts and mailboxes, assigning licenses, setting up authentication, and testing connectivity.
- Perform the migration using the chosen method. This may involve exporting and importing PST files, synchronizing mailboxes and folders, migrating contacts and calendars, updating Outlook profiles, and resolving any errors or issues.
- Verify the migration results and ensure that all data is transferred correctly. This may include checking the mail flow, validating the mailbox content, testing the functionality of Outlook and other email clients, and confirming the user satisfaction.
- Decommission the source server and remove any unnecessary components. This may include deleting the old mailboxes, disabling the email services, uninstalling the software, and updating the DNS records.
