What's included in our email migration service?

Before explaining the list, here’s the honest version of what happens in real life:

Email migrations sound simple until you see how differently companies use email.

One business has a tidy structure, two shared mailboxes, clean folders, predictable calendars. Another has a decade of messy archives, random rules, signatures imported from five systems ago, and half the team downloading emails onto old laptops.
So, instead of rushing in and breaking things, we start by just understanding you. We talk to the people who rely on specific folders. We ask who uses shared mailboxes and who uses Outlook rules. We check old devices that might still be fetching mail. We look for forwarding loops (you’d be shocked how many companies have these without realizing it).

Then, once we understand the reality, we build a plan. A plan that says when we sync, in what order, which users need help, and how to make the final switch without anyone noticing.

Most migrations happen in the background. Your team keeps working. We quietly test and prepare things until the switch-over time comes. Usually early morning or late evening.
The next day, everything should feel familiar: same emails, same folders, same calendar, same tools—only much more reliable. No emotional damage.

    Discovery & Planning

    We dig into your system and find everything that could break. If something looks odd, we speak to someone who actually uses it. No guesswork.

    Full Mailbox & Data Migration

    Emails, folders, old messages, contacts, calendars, attachments—everything moves with checks before and after. You shouldn’t lose a single file.

    Microsoft 365 Configuration

    We don’t leave you with the default settings. We set up security, MFA, permissions, and all the invisible things that make Microsoft 365 stable.

    Google Workspace → 365 Migration

    Labels, Drive files, shared folders, calendars: Google → Microsoft is not straightforward. We make it clean and predictable

    DNS, Routing, & Cutover

    MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, autodiscover: we update everything and test it repeatedly until we’re absolutely certain mail is flowing correctly.

    User Help & After-Support

    People always need help. We handle setup, syncing problems, mobile devices, signatures, missing folders, weird Outlook behaviors: everything.

Email migration is less about technology and more about keeping your business running smoothly.

That’s what we protect.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Here are key questions about our Office Move/Setup solutions in the UAE:

What does your email migration service actually include?

+

Think of it as a full handover of your old email environment into a new, clean, modern one, without dropping anything along the way. We look at your entire setup: DNS, domains, mailboxes, weird rules someone created years ago, the 14GB PST files sitting on someone’s desktop, the shared inbox that five people rely on, calendars that sync across departments, everything.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we prepare the new system and start syncing your data quietly in the background. You don’t stop working. Nobody has to pause their day. When everything is synced, we do the routing switch. This is the moment everything changes behind the scenes.
Then we help people settle in. Someone will always say, “Where’s my old folder from 2017?” or “My phone isn’t receiving mail yet.” We’re there for all of that.

Do you move companies to Microsoft 365?

+

Absolutely. Microsoft 365 is the most common destination because companies want security, predictable licensing, better control, and a familiar interface. But moving to Microsoft 365 isn’t just about moving email, it’s about configuring the environment so it doesn’t become a mess later.
We set up MFA, conditional access, permissions, spam protection, retention, auditing, compliance rules if required, and proper admin roles. Many companies don’t know these exist until something breaks. We prevent that.

Can you migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365?

+

Yes, and this is a type of migration that needs careful handling. Gmail labels behave differently from Outlook folders. Google Drive files work differently from OneDrive or SharePoint. Users are used to different shortcuts, keyboard habits, and notification flows.
We take all of that into account. We move Gmail, calendars, contacts, Drive files, shared folders, everything that you use in Google Workspace. We also recreate sharing permissions in Microsoft so nothing feels missing the next morning.
If your team needs help adjusting to Outlook or Teams, we support that too.

Can you migrate old Exchange servers to Microsoft 365?

+

Yes. We’ve moved companies off Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016, hosted Exchange, and hybrid configurations. Some are in good shape. Others haven’t been updated in years. Both are manageable.
Exchange migrations require choosing the right method (cutover, staged, or hybrid).

We decide that after looking at your environment, not based on guesswork. We also manage archives, shared mailboxes, distribution lists, and any historical folders that people still depend on.

Is zero downtime realistic?

+

For most businesses, yes. As long as we can sync your data ahead of time, users won’t feel any interruption. Email keeps flowing, and once everything is ready, we flip the switch when the office is quiet.
Some companies choose a weekend cutover just to be safe, but it’s not always necessary.

Do you configure Microsoft 365 after the migration?

+

Yes, and this step is more important than people think. An unconfigured Microsoft 365 tenant becomes a security risk in a matter of days. We set up MFA, enforce conditional access, configure spam filters, anti-phishing rules, retention policies, mailbox permissions, and everything else that keeps your environment safe.
We also help your team get Outlook working on every device they use, including laptops, phones, tablets, and more.

Can you help small businesses set up email from scratch?

+

Of course. We help SMEs pick the right plan, set up their domain, create users, secure the environment, and get everything running. For many small businesses, the main priority is reliability and ease of use. We keep it straightforward.

Can you migrate IMAP hosting accounts to Microsoft 365?

+

Yes. IMAP migrations are a bit old-school, but very common. We move all mail data and rebuild calendars and contacts properly inside Microsoft 365, since IMAP doesn’t support them natively. The end result is a clean Outlook environment that behaves the way it should.

How long does a typical migration take?

+

Usually somewhere between one and three days for most SMEs. Larger organizations take longer because of the amount of data and the number of users. What matters is that most of the time, your team keeps working normally while we sync everything in the background.

Why do companies choose GEEKS for migrations?

+

Because we take time to understand how you actually use email, not the ideal version, but the real one. We don’t rush, we don’t leave things half-finished, and we explain things in plain language. Our ISO certifications give companies confidence, but what really convinces people is how organized the process feels once it starts.
