hi team,
my emails are hosted on an ISP, and i am using a POP3 connector to download these emails to my exchange server.
i have a target now to move to office 365, can you advise if exchange hybrid can work in my environment as the emails are downloaded from the ISP to my exchange server? or it won't be considered an exchange migration and i have to do POP migration to office 365 from my ISP directly to office 365?
many thanks

I would like to confirm with you if you now have a hybrid environment and the mail has been downloaded to the Exchange Server and now needs to be synced to Online? If I misunderstand, correct me.
Thanks. -

2022-12-27T10:12:28.363+00:00 no, the current setup is i have emails from an internet provider and i am using a pop connector to download these emails and submitted to my on prem exchange server.
and now i have a requirement to move to o365, i want to ask about the procedure:
knowing that my emails are downloaded to my exchange server from the internet mail system, will i be able to configure hybrid migration? or no this wont work and i have to consider pop migration to office 365 using export/import PST
thank you

Thanks for the clarification.
Hybrid deployment allows you to move existing mailboxes instead of creating new user mailboxes and importing user information.
If your email is stored in an existing mailbox in Exchange, you can configure the hybrid deployment to move mail. Otherwise, you need to consider importing the PST.For more information about moving mailboxes in a hybrid deployment, it is recommended that you refer to the following documentation.
