    Note:
    a. Grant one service account with impersonation rights and migrate every mailboxes using this account. You need not impersonate all the users.
    b. Ensure that the impersonated user account has access permission to each associated Mailbox (Users).
    c. For Office 365 (source) to Office 365 (destination) migration, set impersonation rights to one of the service account on both Source and destination servers.

  2. Steps to change the Standard folders which are initialized with different language

    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 Office 365 target server to that of your source mailbox folder language (in this case, it is French).
