About E-Mail Migration

Microsoft Online Services provides tools to help you migrate your e-mail environment to Microsoft Exchange Online. Using the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tools, Microsoft Online Services supports migrations from:

  • On-premises Microsoft Exchange Server mailboxes

  • POP3 and IMAP4 mailboxes

Migrate from On-Premises Exchange Server Mailboxes

When migrating from local Exchange Server mailboxes to Exchange Online, you can establish e-mail and directory coexistence between your local environment and Microsoft Online Services, and perform a migration over time. Migration of your on-premises Exchange Server mailboxes includes all mailbox items, calendar items, tasks, and contacts.

Migrate from POP3 and IMAP4 Mailboxes

When migrating from POP3 and IMAP mailboxes, you can use the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tools to copy the contents of the POP3 or IMAP mailboxes to Exchange Online mailboxes.
