MigrationWiz New Feature: Gmail API Available as Destination Endpoint
Prior to this release, the only option for migrating mail from Exchange Online to Gmail was via IMAP. With this release, MigrationWiz users can now select which protocol they would like to leverage for this specific migration scenario.
This allows mailboxes to be migrated even when IMAP is disabled on the Google tenant. Customers can now use their own G Suite account instead of using a BitTitan service account to improve throughput.
Note that:
- Customers will need to create a customer tenant service account and enable APIs
- Customers will need to upload the account credentials JSON file during endpoint
Supported workloads for this migration scenario include mail, contacts, calendars, flags, and mail thread.
Customers can still select between IMAP and Gmail API endpoints; however, they cannot be used interchangeably.
