Migrating Current MailStore Server Customers from Microsoft Exchange Server to Microsoft 365

Modern Authentication Support

More and more companies are moving to Microsoft 365. In addition to issues such as license costs, maintenance expenses, and power consumption, the end of support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is an important issue here. In light of Microsoft's announcement that it is ending standard authentication support, modern authentication based on OAuth 2.0 will soon become a necessity for many companies.

MailStore Server supports modern authentication, not only providing optimal integration in the Microsoft 365 cloud environment but also ensuring the required security. For example, as a Microsoft 365 user, you can use your Microsoft 365 tenant's standard sign-in policy to log in to MailStore Server, including multi-factor authentication.

Bring Your Current Email Archive With You When Migrating to Microsoft 365

Are you currently using MailStore Server with a Microsoft Exchange Server and wondering what to pay attention to during the migration? If you are already using MailStore Server with an on-premises Exchange Server, you can bring your current archive with you when migrating to Microsoft 365. After switching to Microsoft 365 with MailStore Server, you can continue archiving your emails as before.

This way, you can continue to benefit from all the advantages our software offers in terms of email archiving within a professional email management environment! Also, you do not need to move your existing emails to Microsoft in advance.
