Email migration questions, answered plainly

An email migration is the process of moving emails and associated data from one email system to another. This can include mailboxes, folders, calendars, contacts, shared mailboxes and other data. Businesses commonly migrate email when moving to Microsoft 365 or replacing an existing email platform.
Migrating email to Microsoft 365 involves assessing your existing environment, preparing Microsoft 365, configuring users and mailboxes, transferring your email data and switching mail flow to the new platform. A planned migration also includes testing and validation to make sure users and data are successfully moved.
The time required for an email migration depends on factors such as the number and size of mailboxes, your existing email platform, connection speeds and the complexity of your environment. Smaller migrations may be completed relatively quickly, while larger or more complex organisations may require a phased migration.
Mail is pre-staged and kept in sync, so the gap at cutover is minimal and planned around your business.

Depending on your existing email system, a migration can include emails, mailbox folders, calendars, contacts and other mailbox data. Shared mailboxes and additional email services can also form part of the migration. Valto can assess what data needs to be retained before recommending the appropriate migration approach.
