Migrating emails from Gmail to Office 365 can be done using both manual methods and professional tools like the Shoviv IMAP to Office 365 Migration Tool.
Manual Method:
To manually migrate Gmail to Office 365, start by enabling IMAP in your Gmail settings. Then, in Office 365, create mailboxes for Gmail users. Use the Exchange Admin Center to set up a migration endpoint and upload a CSV file containing Gmail credentials. Finally, create and start a migration batch. While effective for small-scale migrations, this method is time-consuming, requires technical expertise, and doesn’t support advanced features like incremental migration.
