Migration from Gmail to Kopano
-
Hello all,
We are considering migrating from Google services to Kopano in conjunction with Nextcloud.
Has anyone done this before? Is there an easy way to migrate so our users dont lose email?
We are not looking for the selfhosted variant, we want to purchase licenses from Kopano instead.

Hi @jhjacobs81 ,
kopano does not offer a hosted service like google.Maybe you ask one of kopanos partners, if they have done a migration scenario like this.
https://kopano.com/partners/I am sure there is a way to do a migration without loose emails - “worst case” you need to do it with a workaround like downloading all Mails to outlook and to a PST Export ( Kopano can do a pst import).

I have done this several times, by importing the mailboxes using IMAP.
precisely imapsync (but I think Kopano has a version of it but I can’t remember its name, which is distributed with Kopano).
No need to go via Outlook.
You won’t lose any emails whatsoever and your data structure (folders etc.) will be preserved.
That said, you need hosting for it if you do not want to host it yourself (which isn’t that difficult). As @AnotherAndy mentioned, the answer to that may be Kopano partners.
In my case I do my own hosting. And I am very happy with it.

Thank you @AnotherAndy and @mcostan for your answers :)
i did notice Kopano doesnt host its own product. i think this is a shame :)
As a result, i have now setup a kopano server with AD myself :) took me a night but its working :)
