What Are MX Records and Why Do They Matter?
MX records (Mail Exchange records) are DNS settings that control where your business emails are delivered.
During a Microsoft 365 email migration, MX records must be updated correctly to ensure:
Emails continue flowing properly
Mail delivery interruptions are minimised
Users can send and receive emails correctly
Spam filtering functions properly
Microsoft 365 becomes the authoritative email platform
Incorrect DNS or MX record changes are one of he most common causes of email migration issues.
During a Microsoft 365 migration, the timing of MX record changes is critical.
We plan and communicate the email cutover with your team, validate mail flow, and carefully manage the transition to help minimise downtime and maintain business continuity.
Common Email Migration Problems We Help Prevent
Syncing problems
Missing folders
Mailbox duplication
Broken shared mailboxes
Delayed mail delivery
Our migration process is designed to proactively identify and reduce these risks before migration begins.

GoDaddy to Microsoft 365 Migration

Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration
Migrating from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 requires careful planning around Gmail data, Google Drive files, calendars, contacts, and user adoption. We help businesses move from G Suite to Microsoft 365 while maintaining continuity and minimising downtime.
IMAP Migration to Microsoft 365
IMAP migrations are commonly used for older hosted email systems or business that haver stuck with the default system stuck to their website such as cPanel-based mailboxes. We securely migrate mailbox data from IMAP servers into Exchange Online while ensuring proper folder mapping and mailbox syncing.
POP3 to Microsoft 365 Migration
POP3 email systems can create major business risks because emails are often stored locally on devices rather than centrally managed. We help businesses consolidate and migrate POP3 email environments into Microsoft 365 for improved reliability and backup protection.

Mergers, acquisitions, rebrands, and business restructures often require Microsoft tenant-to-tenant migrations. We help migrate:
- User accounts, Mailboxes
- OneDrive data, Teams environments
- SharePoint sites
- Distribution groups, Shared mailboxes

PST File Imports & Legacy Email Archives
We assist businesses with importing PST files, archived mailboxes, and historical email data into Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online environments.

FAQ about Email Migrations
Will we lose emails during migration?
A properly planned Microsoft 365 migration will minimise the risk of email loss. We track email synchronization between systems and can report on failed or corrupt emails.
Will staff still receive emails during migration?
Yes. Careful DNS and MX record planning helps maintain mail flow continuity, allowing businesses to continue sending and receiving emails during the migration process.
SouthEast IT will communicate with you every step of the way especially when the cutover takes place.
How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?
Migration timeframes vary depending on mailbox sizes, user numbers, internet connectivity and the complexity of the environment being migrated. We provide a migration plan and estimated timeframe before work begins.
Can migration happen after hours?
The final cutover, where users are switched to Microsoft 365, is typically completed during business hours so we can verify services, assist users, and address any issues immediately.
The migration process is often performed after hours or over a weekend to minimise disruption to your business.
Can you migrate shared mailboxes to Microsoft 365?
Yes. Shared mailboxes can typically be migrated to Microsoft 365 while preserving mailbox data, folder structures and user access permissions. This helps teams continue using shared accounts for sales, support, accounts and administration with minimal disruption.
Can calendars and contacts be migrated?
Yes. User calendars, shared calendars, contacts and address books can typically be migrated to Microsoft 365. This helps maintain scheduling information and business contact data throughout the migration process.
Can PST files be imported into Microsoft 365?
Yes. Historical PST files and archived mailbox data can be imported into Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online environments. This allows businesses to centralise legacy email data and improve accessibility, management and retention.
What gets migrated during a Microsoft 365 migration?
A Microsoft 365 migration can include emails, shared mailboxes, calendars, contacts, distribution groups, Outlook profiles, PST archives, Microsoft Teams data, OneDrive files, SharePoint data and other business-critical information depending on project requirements.
What is an IMAP migration?
An IMAP migration is commonly used for hosted email platforms that are not running Microsoft Exchange. Mailbox data is transferred from the existing email platform into Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online.
What is hybrid Exchange migration?
Hybrid Exchange migration allows businesses to temporarily operate on-premise Exchange alongside Microsoft 365 during a staged migration. This approach is often used by larger organisations requiring greater flexibility during transition.
What are MX records?
MX (Mail Exchange) records are DNS settings that determine where your business emails are delivered. Correct MX record configuration is critical during a Microsoft 365 migration to help ensure uninterrupted email delivery.
Can you migrate from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365?

Can you migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We help businesses migrate from Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) to Microsoft 365, including email, calendars, contacts, Google Drive data and user account transitions where required.
Is Microsoft 365 more secure than traditional email hosting?
Microsoft 365 includes enterprise-grade security features such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Microsoft Defender, Conditional Access policies and advanced email protection capabilities that are often unavailable in many legacy email hosting environments.
What type of businesses use Microsoft 365 migration services?
Microsoft 365 migration services are commonly used by professional services firms, healthcare providers, construction companies, manufacturers, retailers, multi-site organisations and growing businesses looking to modernise their email and collaboration systems.
Can OneDrive and SharePoint data be migrated?
Yes. OneDrive files, SharePoint document libraries and associated business data can often be migrated as part of a broader Microsoft 365 transition project while maintaining access permissions and folder structures.
Do you provide support after the migration is complete?
