     Tip: If this is the first time you’re migrating with EdbMails, the migration is a full migration. On subsequent migrations from the same source to the target, the migration is incremental.

    EdbMails provides the following additional options to help you customize the migration task.

    1. Additional Include and Exclude Filter Options
    2. Filter emails by Date: Migrate to Gmail by applying the Date filter
    3. Filter emails by Size: Exclude emails from migration larger than a specified size.
  • Step 4: Connect to target Gmail server
    • Select the required Host name for your Gmail server.
    • Select the option SSL / TLS, enter the Port Number as 993 (For secure IMAP connection) and enter the email address and app password for your gmail account.

    Connect to target Gmail server

    If you want to migrate multiple Gmail mailboxes, select ‘Multiple (bulk) Users / Accounts Migration’. Download the sample CSV file and fill the required details such as mailbox name, password, host name and port. Load the CSV file into EdbMails application and verify the list mailboxes to continue.

    Verify the list mailboxes to continue

  • Step 5: Map the mailboxes / folders between the source and target

    EdbMails automatically maps the mailboxes and folders between Zimbra and the Gmail server. This activity saves time when you’re migrating a large number of mailboxes. You can also manually map source folder / subfolder with target folder / subfolder.

    Map the mailboxes

  • Step 6: Start the Zimbra to Gmail migration

    Start and monitor the migration operation after you complete the mailbox mapping. Finally, verify the count of migrated emails, folders and mailbox items with EdbMails text-based log report. You can also pause and resume the migration.

III. Post-migration tasks

  • Step 1: Update MX Records

    Make the necessary changes to the MX records in your DNS provider's portal. This ensures that incoming email traffic is redirected to Gmail instead of Zimbra.

  • Step 2: Configure AutoDiscover (CName)

    Include the AutoDiscover (CName) setting in your DNS configuration. This setting helps with the automatic configuration of email clients for a seamless transition to Gmail.

  • Step 3: Set up Zimbra Mail Forwarding

    To ensure that no emails are missed during the migration process, set up mail forwarding in Zimbra. This will forward any incoming messages to your Gmail account until the transition is complete.
