As organizations increasingly prioritize centralized email management, there is a rising demand for migrating Mimecast archives to Office 365. Users are seeking to consolidate their email data into a single, efficient platform, enhancing productivity and simplifying email management. However, migrating archives from Mimecast to Office 365 presents several challenges.

Mimecast to Office 365 migration

User Query

"Previously, we used Mimecast, but our company has decided to discontinue its use. We have over 1TB of email archives and have no idea how to export them all into a suitable format. We are even more confused after reading articles that mention exporting to EML, PST, and then converting the format before migrating to Office 365. Has anyone successfully migrated their email archives, or is there a software tool that can directly migrate our archives to Microsoft 365?"

  1. Benefits to migrate from Mimecast to Office 365

    Without a doubt, Mimecast provides enhanced security and serves as an additional security layer for data protection. However, as businesses merge or are acquired, the newer management may prefer to do away with the existing infrastructure or simply plan to have everything in one place. Let's take a look at why and how to migrate to Office 365.

    • For the same price, Office 365 already includes in-place archiving, eDiscovery, search, and export which helps many businesses in avoiding additional costs.
    • Office 365 also includes Microsoft Defender, Exchange online protection, robust security, and advanced spam filters that are integrated with email.
    • Mimecast may not allow certain emails to pass through when configuring Office 365 emails with other services, resulting in delivery failures.
    • Instead of relying on external third-party services, organizations are implementing in-house firewalls and blocking methods.
    • When an organization requires immediate access to the archives, exporting data from Mimecast becomes difficult.
  2. Mimecast to Office 365 migration plan

    Planning is one of the most important steps before you begin the Mimecast to Office 365 migration. Here is a checklist of points to consider before you migrate.

    • Make a list of all the data and permissions from the Mimecast that you want to transfer.
    • Create appropriate user mailboxes on Office 365 and assign licenses to them.
    • Ensure you have enough network capacity and bandwidth to migrate.
    • Communicate the migration plan and flow to your end users.
