godaddy with office 365 to office 365 migration

Question

team i have office 365 with godaddy and we know that they are using their own versions rebranded names of office 365 packages and I wish to move from godaddy to another O365 reseller. Based on my findings, its not something easy similar to just changing billing and sending reseller links. and only way is to migrate and consider godaddy a different source email system.

now my question can i migrate using the IMAP MS native tool? or my only option is just to look for a 3rd party tool or to export/import PSTs.

thank you

Hi @eg1995 ,

To migrate from godaddy to o365, you could follow these steps:

1.Purchase an Office 365 plan from Microsoft directly.

2.Create mailboxes on the new subscription using the default onmicrosoft.com temporarily.

3.Perform an IMAP migration to move the mailbox data.

4.After the migration, remove your custom domain from your Office 365 plan in GoDaddy.

5.Cancel your Office 365 subscription in GoDaddy.

If you are not clear about above actions in GoDaddy, you may need to consult GoDaddy support for the detailed steps.

6.Add and verify your domain in Office 365.

7.Change the user mailboxes from onmicrosoft.com to the verified domain.

Answer 2

so this means IMAP from the exchange online dashboard will work? knowing that it's eventually a tenant to tenant migration and previously IMAP betweek 2 tenants wasn't feasible.
