User defined mailbox / folder mapping for migration
With the help of EdbMails Office 365 Migration software, you can do the user-defined mailbox and folder mapping and can map source mailboxes / folders and target mailboxes / folders as you like. The tool allows the user to map source mailboxes and folders, and target mailboxes and folders, as per the requirements of your business processes
By default, EdbMails does one to one mapping between source and target mailboxes / folders. That’s, it maps source mailboxes and folders to corresponding mailboxes and folders on the target server.
For instance, if you need to migrate the ‘inbox’ folder from the ‘test@source.com’ mailbox. Using default mapping(Automatic mapping), you are allowed to migrate the inbox folder to a Mailbox at your destination. But you are not allowed to migrate the inbox folder to a different folder in the destination. Here, you can overcome it by using a user defined mailbox mapping feature.
Advantages of user-defined mapping
- Migrate to any location on your target server
For Instance, if you've provided a source folder path like ‘user1@source.com/Inbox’ and wish to map it to another path on the target as ‘user2@target.com/custom’, then user-defined mapping will help to migrate all items present in the source's Inbox folder to the target's Custom folder.
- Migrate to the destination server that supports multiple languages
Suppose you want to migrate the 'Inbox' folder(English) from the source mailbox to the 'Boîte de réception' folder(French) in the target mailbox, then the user defined mapping enables you to map the source folder to the target folder easily.
How to set-up user defined folder mapping?
To create a user defined mapping, you should have a CSV file where you specify the source server mailboxes and folder path, along with the target server mailboxes and folder path. Save the CSV file and load it into EdbMails to perform the mapping.
