Migration
The migration phase handles the actual content transfer from source to target mailboxes.
What's migrated
- Email — all folders, messages, and attachments
- Calendar — events, recurring meetings, attendee lists, Teams meeting links
- Contacts — personal contacts and contact folders
- Tasks — Outlook tasks and to-do items (where supported)
Batching
Migrations are executed in batches. You control:
- Batch size — number of users per batch
- Scheduling — start immediately or schedule for a specific time
- Priority — which users to migrate first (e.g. VIPs, executives)
Monitoring
The migration dashboard shows:
- Overall progress (percentage, items migrated)
- Per-user status: Pending, In Progress, Completed, Failed
- Error details for failed items with retry options
Retries
Failed items can be retried individually or in bulk. TenantLift tracks which items have been successfully migrated to avoid duplicates.
