Hi Guys,
We are going to perform a cutover migration from Exchange Server 2013 to M365.
Since the size of the organisation is less than 100, we are going for a cut-over migration.
I have a question: Can journal mailboxes from on-premises be migrated to M365?
and also what is the maximum limit size for the mailboxes to perform cut-over migration?
Please Help me with this.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ajay,
Please note the line highlighted in the image below, which is from this article.

This article explains journaling requirements and limitations when using Exchange Online.
Hi @Ajay ,
You can't designate an Exchange Online mailbox as a journaling mailbox. When possible, we recommend that you use Microsoft 365 retention to archive and manage data in-place to meet your compliance requirements.
There is no limit on mailbox size for migration, but there is a limit on mailbox size in Exchange Online, which you could refer to: Exchange Online limits
