Passwords
IMAP migration requires sending the passwords of the boxes on the current server for authentication.
We recommend changing all passwords for the purposes of migration, which can then be reset after the process.
The process is automatic and there is no need to access email accounts.
If I do a second migration, will the emails be duplicated?
No. If you leave a migration and return to it, the migrated messages will not be migrated again.
The data migration service checks that each message is already in the destination mailbox before attempting to migrate it. It skips messages that are already in the destination mailbox instead of downloading them back into the source mailbox.
Check that everyone has a user account on your new Workspace domain.
The data migration service only migrates data for existing Workspace user accounts.
Migration does not create Workspace users from the data that is migrated.
