Title
ODM - Can I migrate a mailbox folder content to a different mailbox folder in the target? -
Description
You want to migrate from a folder in the source mailbox to a different folder in the target mailbox. -
Cause
You do not want the target to be a replica of the source but all mail in a migrated folder. -
Resolution
You can only migrate to a different folder with the below folders:
- Inbox
- Deleted
- Archive
- Sent Items
Additionally, when performing the migration, it is important to note that you can only migrate content directly to a root folder, not to a subfolder. For example, if you attempt to migrate the Inbox folder to a location named "Migrated Content," all items from the Inbox will be placed directly into the "Migrated Content" root folder, not into any subfolder.
If you set the target location to "Migrated Content\Inbox," the migration will create a folder called "Inbox" under the "Migrated Content" root folder. Any subfolders that exist within "Inbox" in the source environment will also be created under the newly created "Inbox" folder at the target location.
To summarize, the migration will create folders only at the root level, and subfolders will be placed accordingly underneath the appropriate parent folder.
