      So basically, no one knows how to submit this request internally.

      Uh, yeah, that would be a good way of saying that.

        Considering the latest update is .. that after talking to the next level up, it turns out this CANNOT be done, except possibly for large migrations. (Which makes no sense, so is probably not true.)

        I would actually update this to no one over there knows what they are doing, actually.

        They recommended going with the PST upload, which I am testing now.

        I uploaded a 647K KB PST file to the system. It said it would import it, though it only said it was 550MB. So I am wondering if it is some sort of compression thing, some sort of PST vs. message storage thing, or just a mess up on their end.

        Once the file was uploaded, I hit IMPORT. That was at 3:02. It's now 3:38 and this is what I see. I wonder if this is going to be a typical Microsoft update. Stay at 0% for an hour then say it is done.

          You uploaded a file that was .6 MB and now MS is telling you it's 550 MB? damn, that's some expansion.

            647K KB (647,000 KB) is .6 MB?

                It ended up taking about 70 minutes, but it completed. Now I have to look at the file and compare folders and see if everything copied over, especially since the PST file sizes were reported as different.

                  Was that the test upload or the 20Gb file

                    The test upload.

                    I am checking through it now ... it seems to have worked.

                    I got thrown off by the stupid filter setting Outlook has ... had to go through the folders and de-select that, but it seems to have gotten them all.

                      Or right click properties and check the file count and stuff?

                        Eh? You mean folder size in properties?

                        I wish Outlook and OWA had a way to easily display the number of messages in a folder. MDaemon has an option to show (X/Y) for each folder where x is unread and Y is total. It makes it so much easier to compare.

                          Outlook has always had this with size, if not message count. but if they match you should be good I would assume.

                          Compare local and server. You can have the new mailbox online only so you don't have to cache..

                          You can look at the properties of each folder and see the total. but that is super manual.

                            They never match exactly, though, which is the issue.

                            You can change Outlook to display the number of items, but that is also very manual as you have to do it for every folder.

                            I basically randomly write down folders, and check through them. I figure if 20 out of 40 are correct, they all should be.

                            I think Exchange must calculate storage differently than MDaemon and the PST. Not surprising. Maybe it compresses it by default.

                            I've never actually administered Exchange, so don't know.

                              Trying the PST import method. Honestly, it isn't much better.

                              Have a 3.28 GB PST upload to Office365 already. Started the import at 2:03. It is now 6 hours later and it is only 59% done. So this seems like it might even be SLOWER than the other way.

                              WTH, Microsoft. Why do you make it so hard to switch to your product?

                                I am still amazed at how long it has taken you, I am not sure from what email system you are coming from but usually I do importa initially a month or 2 weeks before and then do deltas every week with the Builtin migration tool.

                                  I guess my mistake is expecting it to happen it like every other file transfer would happen.

                                  I mean, the upload of the PST to Azure went almost full ISP speed of 65 Mbps. Why the F do they import the data at .5GB an hour or less. Just makes no sense why they would want such a delay in allowing people to switch over to their system.

                                        @bigbear said that is a disaster, and that's about the feel I got from it from reading stories online, as well.

                                        We can argue the point all we want, but the thing is, there IS an easy way to do this. It's just the Microsoft cripples it for some reason.

                                          I like either the Azure method or the MigrationWiz. With the latter you can migrate ahead of time and sync up after the switch or do a dial tone migration if you don’t have the time to plan.

                                          Azure is more work but when migration hundreds of large mailboxes it’s better than the outlook import method.

                                          Soemthing to note, when you migrate a premise exchange server you get full speed upload automatically from MS.

                                          Seems like with the limits raised we complete Terrabytes of mail migrations over a weekend without anyone left behind. I’ll have to pay attention next weekend on what speeds were seeing in live migration.

                                            They are throttling. I just went through a 100 mailbox migration and a user with a 15 GB mailbox took 3 days. I have a 150/150 Mbps dedicated fiber circuit.
