Migrating Microsoft Exchange environments is no longer a straightforward task. With growing data volumes, hybrid setups, compliance requirements, and strict uptime demands, IT teams face immense challenges in executing smooth migrations. Native methods, though available, often involve complex scripting, PowerShell commands, and the constant risk of downtime or data loss.
This is where EdbMails Exchange Migration makes a real difference. Designed with IT administrators in mind, it offers an end-to-end, automated migration solution that handles everything from legacy Exchange versions like 2007 all the way up to Exchange 2019 and Office 365, while also supporting IMAP, PST, CalDAV, and CardDAV scenarios. With features like concurrent mailbox migrations, incremental sync, public folder migration, PST export/restore, and throttling management, EdbMails ensures that migrations are not only faster but also secure, scalable, and disruption-free.
Supported Exchange Server Versions
EdbMails supports a wide range of Exchange migration paths:
- Exchange Server 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019 to newer Exchange versions
- Exchange Server (2007–2019) to Office 365
- Exchange to IMAP servers (Gmail, Yahoo, Zimbra, and others)
- Exchange to PST export and PST restore back to Exchange or Office 365
Key Features of EdbMails Exchange Migration
- Granular Migration
Migrate only what you need — from entire mailboxes to specific folders or even single items. Filters make it easy to exclude or include data based on your requirements.
- Incremental Migration
After the first full migration, subsequent syncs are incremental, ensuring only new and updated items move, preventing duplicates and optimizing bandwidth.
- Concurrent Mailbox Migrations
Run multiple mailbox migrations in parallel to reduce project timelines. EdbMails balances performance with stability, making it ideal for environments with large user counts.
- On-Premises Exchange Migration
Migrate securely between on-premises Exchange servers or from hosted providers with zero disruption to ongoing work.

Traditionally complex with PowerShell, public folder migration is made simple with EdbMails’ intuitive wizard — no scripting required.
- Archive & Shared Mailbox Migration
Move archive and shared mailboxes seamlessly, ensuring historical data is preserved.
- Cross-Forest and Cross-Domain Migration
Migrate mailboxes across forests and domains effortlessly — a critical need for mergers, acquisitions, or tenant restructuring.

Supports cutover, staged, and hybrid Exchange migrations, enabling controlled and phased rollouts.
