Systools Imap Migration Tool

The SysTools IMAP Migration Tool is a universal email migration solution designed to transfer mailboxes between any two IMAP-enabled servers. It serves as a bridge for organizations switching email providers, allowing IT administrators to migrate bulk email data from sources like Gmail, Yahoo, Zoho, or on-premise servers to any destination supporting the IMAP protocol (including Office 365 or Exchange).

Core Capabilities

• Universal Compatibility: Works with any email service that supports the IMAP protocol (e.g., Gmail, G Suite, Yahoo, AOL, and private email servers).

• Bulk Migration: Designed for scalability, allowing administrators to migrate hundreds of user mailboxes simultaneously rather than one by one.

• Cross-Platform Support: The software is compatible with Windows (Windows 11, 10, Server 2012/2016) and Mac OS (10.8 and above).

Key Technical Features

1. Delta Migration (Incremental): Crucial for large projects, this feature allows you to perform a "top-up" migration. After the initial transfer, you can run the tool again to copy only the new emails that arrived during the transition, skipping data that has already been moved.

2. Concurrent Migration: To speed up the process, the tool can migrate multiple user accounts at the exact same time (Multi-Threaded migration), significantly reducing the total time required for the project.

3. Smart Filtering:

   • Date Range: Administrators can filter emails by date (e.g., "migrate only emails from 2023 onwards").

   • Folder Selection: Option to include or exclude specific folders (like "Junk" or "Trash") to save storage space on the destination server.

4. Folder Hierarchy Preservation: The tool ensures that the folder structure (Inbox, Sent, Custom Folders) and email metadata (Read/Unread status, Subject, Date) remain exactly the same in the destination account as they were in the source.

5. Retry Failed Items: If any emails fail to transfer due to network interruptions or server timeouts, the tool provides a specific mode to retry only the failed items without restarting the whole process.
