Office 365 to Google Workspace

Hello Community,

I have the following question, I have a client that is currently using Office 365 on their old web designer’s Office 365 server (so no access to the Admin panel) I would like to migrate them to Google workspace using the same email address.

Could you please give me some direction on the following points:

  • What steps need to be taken to use the same email address that they are currently using on the O365 server.

  • Can I use their local email client (Apple MacBook) to create .pst files that I can then import into Google Workspace so that we have their historical data (Emails, Calendar & Contacts)

Thanks

Andrew

I haven’t done this myself, but I’ll chip in and offer some advice.

From my understanding, to use the same email address (I assume it uses the same domain as their website), then this will be something to do with the domain control panel. Related to MX records and SPF/TXT records. A quick Google will help you with this.

As for moving data and everything over from Office365, I found these two articles that might be helpful:

Let me know if this is what you are looking for. If you have any further questions, just ask.

Thank you Noah, I will take a look through the links that you have provided, as far as the MX records are concerned I will have to change them, they are currently with GoDaddy and not with WIX

No problem, I hope that the links prove to be useful :slight_smile:
