EDB Archive Mailbox to Office 365

Migrating archived emails from older Exchange servers to Microsoft 365 is an essential step in keeping your IT infrastructure up to date. In many organizations, these archived messages are stored in In-Place Archives—mailboxes designed to manage mailbox size by moving older emails to a separate, searchable location governed by retention policies.

EdbMails EDB to Office 365 migrator provides a straightforward and reliable solution to migrate these In-Place Archive mailboxes directly from EDB files to Office 365. Whether you're upgrading to a newer platform, consolidating tenants, or decommissioning legacy servers, EdbMails ensures data integrity, preserves folder structures, and simplifies the entire process—even when the source Exchange server is no longer accessible.

Convert EDB Archive Mailbox to Office 365

To help you get started with ease, this guide walks you through each step of the migration process using EdbMails. From selecting your source offline EDB file to configuring the target Office 365 account, you'll learn how to securely move archive data without downtime or data loss.

  1. Prerequisites to migrate EDB Archive Mailbox to Office 365

    Before migrating your In-Place Archive from EDB to Office 365, it’s essential to properly prepare the target Office 365 environment as described in the following section.

    1. Make sure you meet the necessary network and bandwidth requirements for the migration. Refer to the network and migration planning, performance factors, and best practices for Office 365 migration.
    2. Set up your target Office 365 tenant. See tenant roadmap for Microsoft 365.

    6. Ensure that you have a global admin account with a mailbox for Auto Registration of EdbMails application on your Entra ID (Azure Active Directory). However, you can use either a global admin account or any user account with full access rights in the Manual Registration method.
    7. Configure Office 365 to send and receive large messages

       Follow the steps to increase the message size on Office 365 to 150MB.

    8. If you plan to continue receiving emails at a custom email domain after migration, you must add and verify the domain in Office 365.
