Thank you! After an hour (or more) of going in circles trying to follow Microsoft's "instructions" from one page to the next, you answered it in 5 minutes.
Thanks for you vid! Do I need to set up the MX records before starting the migration from the old provider? Or can I switch to MS MX Records when it is completed?
No problem hope it helped! You can switch the MX records after the migration has completed. Usually, I create an email account under a .onmicrosoft.com domain, then migrate the email and then once the migration has completed, setup your domain and then swap the domain for that account over to the domain you have added into the tenant.
Thank you for this good video it helped a lot !. Q: i did encounter a strange thing when doing this for a customer. one of the account i migrated as you did in this video did not get all the sendt emails over.. last was from 2018 soo somehow it did not get it all. Inbox was okay and no problems. Do you have any suggestion for what could be the reason for this or if you have enqounter the same issue yourself ?
Thanks for your kind feedback. Quite possibly it could have been caused by the exchange cache mode setting which allows you to set how far back emails are to sync. Alternatively, I would suggest re-running a migration on the mailbox and seeing if it then pulls all of the later emails through for the sent folder.
Allrighty then thanks for the reply. I guess i just going to export / import the sendt elements for this person .. Just so we can getvhis emails from 2018 - 2024 in the sendt emails . Thanks again for the reply :)
@@E4ace Yes so another way you can do it, if you have access to the user account directly you can export the sent items to a PST file and then re import into the account via Outlook. Check out my other video on my channel which covers how to do that. Happy to help!

My pleasure! Glad to have assisted. That is my goal, to essentially 'de-bunk' Microsofts long written tutorials and make them easy to follow.
Thanks for you vid!

Can you show how to import emails from a PST file into Microsoft 365 ?
and how to export from Microsoft 365 to a PST file?
Yes absolutely. I will create a video shortly and post that. It's very easy.
