# Email Migration

Domain: [Digital Workplace](https://bedreweb.com/services/digital-workplace) · Page: https://bedreweb.com/services/digital-workplace/email-migration

Email migration that moves mailboxes, contacts and calendars to a new platform without lost messages or missed days.

## What it is
Moving email is risky if done carelessly: lost messages, broken calendars and bounced mail damage trust. A planned migration copies data, switches mail routing at the right moment and keeps users working throughout.

The sequence matters. Prepare the destination, copy existing mail, change the records that direct new mail, then verify and clean up. Staff should know what to expect at each step.

## What is included
- **Inventory and plan**: Mailboxes, sizes, aliases and special cases.
- **Destination setup**: Accounts, domains and security ready before moving.
- **Data copy**: Mail, contacts and calendars transferred.
- **Cutover**: Switching mail routing with minimal disruption.
- **Verification**: Checking each mailbox and device.
- **Staff communication**: Clear instructions for users.

## Outcomes
- **No lost mail**: Messages are copied and verified.
- **Minimal downtime**: Cutover is planned around your working hours.
- **Calm users**: Staff know what is happening and when.

## Good fit if
- You are changing mail provider.
- Your mail host is unreliable.
- You are consolidating several domains.

## FAQ
**Will we receive mail during the move?**
Yes. Routing is switched carefully so incoming mail continues to arrive.

**Can old mailboxes be archived?**
Yes. Archives can be kept alongside active mailboxes.

**How long does it take?**
It depends on mailbox size and number. The plan gives a realistic schedule.
