I am looking to bring by mail back from Office 365 to MailEnable. I have followed the documentation and have gotten the mailboxes created by logging in to ME WebMail using the O365 credentials. Mail isn't migrating over though. Am I wrong in thinking that will happen? I was planning on having all mail migrated prior to re-pointing DNS.
Thanks for your help

Re: Migrating from Office 365
I use the reverse method since migrating is a pain....
Despite having language specific tools, the inbox is inbox no matter what and that makes languages other than english a pain to migrate.
So move the DNS and watch mail flowing in.
Export the O365 mailboxes to an .PST and import them in outlook.
Make sure that NO / : or any illegal letters are used in the folder names.
Let the users move their mail to Mailenable.
Its a pain and I hate it.... but its the only way if you wanna make sure its bulletproof. And yes it should be possible to do it easier, but no.

Re: Migrating from Office 365
As an update, support made some updates to the migration utility and it worked well. I have been able to migrate over all user data, at least that is how it appears. I'm continuing to test, but to be honest, it looks to have done a smooth transfer!

Re: Migrating from Office 365
Hi,
It requires you upgrade to 10.40 which contains a fix for Office 365 migrations. You can find 10.40 on our beta page. The fix was to address a failure when connecting via TLS to the office 365 servers.Can you make a step by step guide??
