Migration Paths

Move from Your Current Email Platform to the Cloud Platform You Want.

HostPro can assess the source system and recommend the appropriate migration method. The migration path, data types and tooling depend on the source platform, target platform and account configuration.

Migrate to Microsoft 365

Move Business Email to Exchange Online.

  • Exchange Server → Microsoft 365
  • Google Workspace → Microsoft 365
  • cPanel / hosted email / IMAP → Microsoft 365
  • Zimbra and other IMAP-enabled platforms → Microsoft 365
  • Microsoft 365 tenant → Microsoft 365 tenant
  • Staged, batch or planned cutover depending on project needs

Migrate to Google Workspace

Move Business Email to Gmail for Business.

  • Microsoft Outlook / Exchange data → Google Workspace
  • Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online → Google Workspace, subject to migration method
  • cPanel email → Google Workspace
  • Webmail / hosted email / supported IMAP server → Google Workspace
  • Other Google Workspace environment → target Google Workspace, where applicable
  • Mailbox migration mapping and post-migration verification
Important: Basic IMAP migration normally focuses on email messages. Calendar, contacts, tasks, shared folders and other collaboration data require platform-specific migration methods and may not be available for every source system.

What We Handle

A Practical Migration Service, Not Just a Mailbox Copy.

Our migration scope can cover the planning, technical preparation, transfer, cutover and user onboarding needed to move a business email environment with less disruption.

01

Migration Assessment

Review users, mailbox sizes, source platform, domains, DNS, authentication and the data that must be preserved.

02

Target Account Preparation

Create or verify target users, licences and mailboxes before migration begins.

03

Mailbox Data Migration

Transfer email and other supported mailbox content using the appropriate Microsoft, Google or IMAP migration path.

04

Domain & DNS Cutover

Coordinate domain verification, MX records and other required mail DNS settings when the target service goes live.

05

Device & Outlook Setup

Assist with supported desktop, browser and mobile account setup after the new environment is ready.

06

Verification & Reporting

Check migration status, failed items, routing and user access, then address outstanding issues where possible.

Our Migration Process

Plan First. Migrate in Stages. Cut Over with Control.

The workflow is adapted from common Microsoft 365 migration practice and the staged service approach used by established Malaysian providers.

1

Discovery

Confirm users, source system, mailbox sizes, domains and business constraints.

2

Pre-Migration

Prepare target licences, users, domains and technical prerequisites.

3

Pilot / Sync

Validate the migration path and begin transfer where the selected method supports it.

4

Migration

Run the main mailbox batches according to the approved schedule.

5

DNS Cutover

Switch mail routing and complete supported Outlook, browser or mobile setup.

6

Post-Migration

Review migration reports, verify users and resolve remaining migration issues.

Data Scope

What Can Be Migrated?

The answer depends on the source system and migration method. Microsoft and Google both provide different tools for different source environments, so the project should be scoped before promising a one-to-one copy of every data type.

For generic IMAP migrations, email is the primary data type. Calendars, contacts, tasks, permissions, public folders, Drive/OneDrive content and shared resources may require separate migration methods or additional project scope.
Email MessagesSupported across common IMAP and platform-specific migration paths.
Folder / Label StructureBehaviour depends on the source and target platform.
ContactsSupported in selected platform-specific migration methods.
CalendarsSupported in selected Microsoft / Google migration scenarios.
Tasks & RulesAvailability depends on the specific migration path.
Shared DataPublic folders, shared drives and permissions may require separate assessment.

Why Use a Migration Service?

Reduce the Risk of Turning an Email Move into a Business Disruption.

One Migration Plan

Document the source, destination, users, DNS and cutover sequence before changes are made.

Scheduled Cutover

Migration batches and major cutover work can be planned around business operating hours.

User Provisioning

Reduce repetitive admin work by preparing target accounts and mailbox mappings systematically.

Post-Migration Checks

Use migration reports and user testing to identify failed items or account configuration issues.

Before We Quote

Tell Us What You Are Migrating From — and Where You Want to Go.

A migration quotation depends on the number of users, mailbox sizes, source platform, target platform, data scope, migration window and whether local device setup is required.

A

Source Platform

Exchange, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cPanel, Zimbra, hosted email or another IMAP-enabled service.

B

Number of Users

Tell us the total mailbox count and whether all users will move at the same time or in batches.

C

Mailbox Size

Provide approximate mailbox sizes and identify unusually large users or archives.

D

Target Platform

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, including your preferred licence plan if already decided.

E

Data Required

Email only, or additional contacts, calendars, tasks, shared folders and cloud files.

F

Cutover Window

Normal business day, evening, weekend or a phased schedule based on departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Migration FAQ

The exact migration method is confirmed only after reviewing your current email environment.

Can you migrate cPanel email to Microsoft 365?

Yes, where the cPanel mailboxes are accessible through a supported IMAP configuration. Microsoft documents IMAP migration as a way to move mailbox contents from other email systems into Microsoft 365.

Can you migrate cPanel or another email provider to Google Workspace?

Yes, where the source system is supported and accessible by the selected Google migration method. Google’s migration tooling includes support and troubleshooting guidance for migrations from IMAP servers.

Can you migrate Google Workspace to Microsoft 365?

Yes. Microsoft provides a Google Workspace migration path, including scenarios where mail, calendar and contacts can be migrated using the appropriate Google Workspace migration workflow.

Can you migrate one Microsoft 365 tenant to another?

Yes, tenant-to-tenant migration can be scoped as a project. The exact method and data scope depend on the tenant configuration, identity setup and services being moved.

Will there be downtime?

We plan migrations to reduce disruption and can schedule major cutover work outside normal business hours. Actual service impact depends on the migration path, DNS propagation and the source environment, so zero downtime should not be assumed without an assessment.

Will all my calendar and contacts move?

Not necessarily. Generic IMAP migration is mainly for email. Calendar, contacts and other collaboration data require a platform-specific migration path and should be confirmed during assessment.

Do you also help users set up Outlook and phones?

Yes, local device and email-client setup can be included in the migration scope. The quotation should specify how many devices or users are included.

Can the migration be done over a weekend?

Yes, migration work can be scheduled around an agreed window, including evenings or weekends, depending on project size and technical requirements.

Do you provide Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace licences too?

Yes. HostPro also supplies Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace plans, so licensing and migration can be coordinated as one project.

How much does migration cost?

Migration is quoted based on user count, mailbox size, source and target systems, data types, cutover complexity and setup requirements. Contact HostPro for an assessment and quotation.
