Office 365 Public Folder to Shared Mailbox Migration Guide

  1. 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 Office 365 tenant 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).

Testimonials

I had tried many applications for my few hundred mailboxes migration. But none of the application could be able to complete more than a couple of mailboxes migration. When I had contacted they started reporting that it is due to Office 365 throttling issue. Later out of curiosity I have tried EdbMails Office 365 migration with basic plan. EdbMails is the first application completed my 20 mailboxes migration successfully. Upgraded my migration plan and could be able to migrate all my Office 365 mailboxes without any issues. Last week did a re-migration and EdbMails is the only application does a perfect incremental migration without creating a single duplicate items on re-migration. Thanks to EdbMails, it is a hassle-free Office 365 migration software :)
