Exchange Archive mailbox to Office 365

EdbMails allows you to directly migrate Exchange in-place archive mailboxes to Office 365. Enable In place archive for the mailbox you wish to migrate. Migrate your archive mailbox including emails, contacts, calendars, etc. from source Exchange server to target Office 365 server.

Note: Steps to migrate the Standard folders which are initialized with different language
If Standard folders (such as Inbox, Calendar, Contact etc.,) on your source Exchange server mailboxes are initialized with different language. Follow the below details to migrate these folders to the respective system folders on target (destination) server.
For Instance: Your source Inbox folder is named 'Boîte de réception', which is in French language. If you migrate this folder directly to the destination server then by default it will not get mapped to the 'Inbox' folder on target server. In order to map this to the respective folder, change the regional settings on target server to that of your source mailbox folder language (in this case, it is French).
