Understanding the Application
Before starting a migration, it helps to know how EdbMails is built, what it needs to run, and which scenarios it supports. The topics below cover everything from the application's core structure to system requirements and pricing, so you can plan your migration with a clear picture of what to expect.
Program's Components - EdbMails runs as a single application that handles authentication, connections, and data transfer; there's no separate background service to install. Learn how it connects to your source and target environments, and how those connections work independently of each other.
Migration - See what actually happens during a migration, from the moment you connect to your source server through to mailbox scanning, mapping, filtering, and final verification. This section breaks down each stage so you know what's happening behind the scenes and can plan your timeline accordingly.
Incremental Migration - By default, EdbMails uses incremental migration on subsequent runs for the same source mailboxes on the same computer, transferring only new or changed items. This makes it safe to re-run a migration multiple times before your final cutover, without creating duplicate data.
System Requirements - Before installing EdbMails, confirm you're running a supported Windows OS (Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2012 and later), a quad-core processor with at least 4 GB RAM, and a modern browser such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. You'll also need admin-level Office 365 credentials for both source and target accounts, along with .NET Framework and PowerShell installed; EdbMails will flag either one automatically if it's missing.
Migration Scenarios - EdbMails supports a range of migration paths, including tenant-to-tenant transfers, Office 365 to Exchange, PST export and import, IMAP migration, and public folder or group mailbox migration. Reviewing these scenarios ahead of time helps you identify which one matches your organization's setup.
Pricing - EdbMails pricing is based on the number of mailboxes you need to migrate, so you only pay for what your organization actually requires, with options for organizations of any size. A free trial is available if you'd like to test the migration process before purchasing.
