Frequently
Asked Questions
What is email migration and why is it necessary?
Email migration is the process of moving an email account from one server or system to another. It’s often necessary when a company switches email platforms or needs to consolidate servers for cost-effectiveness, better performance, or improved user experience.
How does the process of email migration work?
Email migration typically involves exporting the data from the source email system (such as Lotus Notes or Zimbra), converting it into a format compatible with the destination system (such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365), and then importing it into the new system.
What are the typical challenges faced during email migration?
The principal challenge is to be able to create a migration account that has access to all mailboxes. This depends on the IMAP server implementation.
How can I ensure that my data is secure during an email migration?
Data security during migration can be ensured by using secure protocols, encrypting data during transmission, and choosing a trusted and reliable migration service.
What types of data can be migrated during an email migration with IMAP?
Imap is a protocol for synchronizing mails and folders only.
How long does an email migration typically take?
The duration of an email migration depends on several factors including the amount of data to be migrated, the speed of the network, and the performance of the source and destination servers.
Can I access my emails during the email migration process?
Yes, the migration is a copy of source content to target content. Access to the source is readonly, therefore it remains available and untouched during the migration.
What is the difference between IMAP migration and Exchange migration?
IMAP migration involves moving emails from any server that supports IMAP, while Exchange migration is specifically for migrating data from Microsoft Exchange servers. Exchange migration may also include more types of data, such as contacts and calendars.
How can I ensure minimal downtime during an email migration?
Downtime can be minimized during an email migration by careful planning, performing a test migration beforehand, scheduling the migration during off-peak hours, and using reliable migration tools or services.
What are the costs associated with email migration?
The costs associated with email migration can include the cost of migration tools or services + eventually the cost of the coexistence solution if selected.
