Hi! Thanks for this video. This is very helpful. I just have a few questions though. Once the Gmail is Activated, does that mean we can't access/use outlook anymore? Will it automatically close/delete data in Outlook? or we can still login but can't use it anymore?

[@jessicabengtson1070]

Wow, thank god for your video!! I have one issue though. My email was through GoDaddy and hasn't been moved to Microsoft 365 yet. Is there a video on how to do this transfer from GoDaddy?

[@jessicabengtson1070]

It's a Go Daddy Workspace email. It is supposed to migrate to office 365 but hasn't done that yet and I want to move it to Google Workspace before it migrates to office 365. The email is set up on a desktop with outlook right now. A few other questions: 1. Can I transfer all of the email data instead of the last 6 months? 2. How long does all of this take? 3. Does Google workspace charge for multiple domain transfers. I have three domains.

[@sulaijasterrogue]

Logically yes, I never would have thought of not to "Activate Gmail". If you activate Gmail, Data Migration will be confused because of an active account on Google Workspace

[@SeanMahoney-gw4vw]

This video is awesome! thank you so much for your detailed breakdown. Unfortunately I am running into an error with 1 of the 3 emails I am trying to migrate over. It is the oldest of the emails created. the error we keep receiving is "LEGACY_SERVER_BUSY_ERROR" any ideas or help you could give on this error we are receiving when migrating this email?

What happens with data in OneDrive? Is there a way to migrate my onedrive files over to google drive in a similar fashion?

[@ideaplusagency]

Quick question (for anyone who reads this also)... Where is the setting to delete emails from our mail server once we delete them in the Google Workspace account? NEVERMIND: I quickly realized that the emails no longer go to the old account because they're routed through Google now.

I've been wasting money for the last few years having a 365 license and having a 365 subscription through Godaddy.

[@danlanderman177]

Fantastic video! Quick question! - Do you need to be log into each Office 365 account to migrate them this way, or is having access to one admin account sufficient? Thanks in advance!

[@GoBitelosGo]

If you have access to the global account in exchange you should be covered.

[@danlanderman177]

Thanks!

[@GoBitelosGo]

@@danlanderman177 np. A couple more tips that I would recommend is depending on the size of the mailboxes start the move after business hours on Friday and in the Exchange side increase the EWS throttle so the transfer goes faster. In her video she only did a very small amount of data most of the times you’re working with many GBs of data so small changes can make huge performance enhancement. Good luck.

[@MeaganTheresa]

Thanks so much for this helpful video! I'm currently using GoDaddy's webmail itself (not via Microsoft), is the process the same for the migration? I attempted to follow the same steps but my percentage for the status of migration has been 0% for a few hours.

[@allrosesaz]

Mine took several hours to process and even timed out at one time. Hope it eventually worked for you.

[@thomashowe5581]

Great video! Quick question, one of my emails with outlook has an alias email attached to it. Will that alias email automatically move over to Gmail when I migrate the primary email? Thanks!

Hi, once migrated, you would have to set up your alias email with google workspace

Thank you! This is very helpful for a new M365 admin like me 🤩I just have a quick question, do I need my client's gmail password for the admin console and all the users passwords on microsoft 365 to complete the migration? My client will purchase the plan but I am the one who will do the entire migration.

[@deannakangas7224]

Can this be done after I've activated Gmail, or do I need to deactivate and start over?

[@JS-tq3qs]

Hi Ms Tech Nicole After I migrate this email. Say for example I want to migrate the domain itself from Godaddy to square space because I don't want to run WordPress. Will this later transfer of the domain from godaddy and WordPress hosting interrupt this mail domain transfer? Or does this also move the actual domain from godaddy too?

[@Mstechnicole]

Hi, I would recommend keeping your domain on GoDaddy but linking your GoDaddy domain to your Squarespace account. With Go Daddy, you are able to link your domain to Wix, Sqaurespace, Shopify etc. By linking it, it will not mess up your email process.
