Why Zimbra Mailboxes Need a Migration Tool

Four facts about moving Zimbra data and how PCVITA software answers them.

  1. 1

    IMAP Moves Mail Only

    Microsoft documents IMAP migration for mailbox contents. PCVITA software also covers address books, events and files.

  2. 2

    Every Mailbox Needs a Pair

    Microsoft IMAP batches need a CSV with a password for every user. PCVITA software fetches the Zimbra users and maps them for you.

  3. 3

    Big Mailbox Counts Need Control

    Hundreds of mailboxes waste time one by one. PCVITA software offers a concurrency slider and priority marks.

  4. 4

    Failed Items Need a Second Pass

    Technical glitches skip some items. PCVITA software retries them without a full restart.

Prepare Before You Migrate Zimbra Mailboxes

Six checks before your first migration. Tick the boxes in order, then open the software.

  1. Create the destination users in your Microsoft 365 admin account first.
  2. Create an Azure project with Application permission and copy the Application ID.
  3. Note the Zimbra server IP and the admin login.
  4. Keep one network for the Zimbra server and the migration PC.
  5. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable (2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022) and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.
