Overview
CodeTwo Office 365 Migration lets you migrate your company's mailboxes and public folders located in Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online) or on on-premises Exchange server (2010 and newer) to Microsoft 365. It also allows you to migrate mailboxes from hosted Exchange servers and emails from IMAP servers (Google Workspace [formerly G Suite], Zimbra, IBM Notes, Zarafa, and others) to Microsoft 365.
The software processes migration tasks individually, as migration jobs. You can create multiple jobs and configure them (e.g. schedule time frames when they will be executed) via the program's Administration Panel.
Installation of the software is easy and straightforward.
Who is the program for?
The program was designed to help administrators in migrations, for example when they upgrade their Exchange environment.
The number of supported scenarios lets you migrate to all plans of Microsoft 365 (Office 365). Furthermore, you can migrate from Exchange 2010 (including Small Business Server 2011) directly to Microsoft 365. And yes, the program supports the migration between Microsoft 365 tenants.
How does the program work?
Depending on your migration scenario, the program is installed in a source server domain (migrations from Exchange) or on a machine with a connection to both the source and the target environment (migrations from other servers). CodeTwo Office 365 Migration does not require installing any agents on the target Microsoft 365 server nor reconfiguring your connectors. The software accesses your source server mailboxes through Exchange Web Services (EWS), a MAPI profile or IMAP, reads their contents, and copies specified items to target server mailboxes via EWS in one hop.

Support for archive mailboxes
CodeTwo Office 365 Migration lets you migrate both primary mailboxes and archive mailboxes (In-Place Archives) - either within the same migration job or as separate jobs.

Migration safety
The software accesses source server data passively, which means that no data is deleted or modified on your source server. Furthermore, the program does not need any intermediary agents installed on third-party servers - it just copies files from a source to a chosen target environment, without storing any data. In addition, CodeTwo Office 365 Migration uses the secure OAuth 2.0 authorization protocol to connect to Microsoft 365.
-
Detailed reports
You can generate a report for all migrations, a single job, or even a particular mailbox, anytime. You can also set the application to send those reports via email. -
Brand new UI
Completely rebuilt User Interface (UI) allows you to perform all tasks in a more convenient way than ever before. The state of any migration can be easily checked on the Dashboard, from which you can jump to all crucial components of the program immediately. -
Diagnostic data

- Migration status areas in the Administration Panel
- Log files
