Also, calendar items that have been removed from the source mailbox will be removed from the target mailbox. Re-migration of other types of items that have been modified or deleted in the source mailbox is not supported. 4781288-1

Address Rewriting
Due to Microsoft's Exchange Online limits on messages sent from the tenant that are calculated according to purchased Exchange Online licenses, some of the sent messages exceeding this limit will not be delivered within 24 hours and will wait in the queue to be send next day. If waiting time will be longer than 24 hours, the sender will receive an NDR.

Workaround: To increase bandwidth you need to purchase more Exchange Online licenses

Resource processing To allow target users access source SharePoint, linked guest users were created in the source and On Demand Migration immediately attempts to grant these user accounts necessary direct permissions. It can take time for guest accounts to replicate to SharePoint, which can result in a "User not found" error message for a guest account that has not yet been replicated during granting permissions.

Workaround: Retry the SharePoint processing later.
