Outlook PST Migration

The administrators can migrate emails for multiple users from the Outlook PST files, to Zoho Mail, using the Outlook PST Migration option in the Zoho Migration Wizard. 

Outlook PST Migration for Multiple Users with Multiple PST Files

The Administrator can migrate different PST files into the accounts of different users. The destination email accounts need to be created in Zoho under the same organization before the Migration process. When you have to migrate multiple PST files for multiple users, follow the preparatory steps specified below before migration.

 Preparatory Steps - Text File

You need to create a text file with the details of the accounts to be migrated and also arrange the folders as mentioned in the steps below.

  1. Create a new migration folder in the system for multiple user migration. 
  2. Create a new text file in the folder, with the list of accounts to be migrated, with each accounts email address in a new line (one below the other).
  3. The accounts should already be created in Zoho under the organization setup, and listed in the User Details section. 
  4. Create subfolders under the migration folder in the format, user1@yourdomain.com, user2@yourdomain.com etc. with each account mentioned in the text file, being created as subfolder under the migration folder. 
  5. Place the PST file(s) of each user, under the respective subfolders created.  
  6. Cross verify the text file content with the subfolder details.

Folder names - Best Practices

Non English and Special Characters:

  • We recommend folder names in English for better results during Migration. In case you have non English folder names, make sure that the local system in which you install and execute the Wizard supports the languages in use by the PST files. 
  • Special characters are not supported in the folder names. Any special characters will be removed from the folder name. 
  • In case you have trouble in non English folder names, you can temporarily have folder names in English only during the migration and then rename it back to the desired name in the web interface after migration in your preferred language.

Folders with System Folder names:

When you have folder names at the root level that match the system folders (Inbox/ Drafts/ Outbox/ Sent), the emails will be migrated to the respective folders. However, such system names are not supported for sub folders.

Similarly, except Inbox, other such folders should not have any subfolders. In case you have folders that have such reserved names, you may rename the folders for better results.

 Password Protected PST files:

If some of the users have password protected PST files, create a text file 'pass.txt' under the respective users' folders. For each user, type in the PST file name followed by comma and the password to open the particular PST file. Add the details of each PST file for the same user in a new line, in the same format. 

The pass.txt for a particular user will look as below: 

my_email_backup1.pst,passw0rd1

my_email_backup3.pst,passw0rd3

Make sure you create the respective 'pass.txt' files under the corresponding folders for all users who have password protected PST files.

Steps to Migrate Multiple PST Files for Multiple Users: 

  1. Launch the Wizard using the desktop shortcut or execute the file 'ZohoExchangeMigration.exe' from \Zoho\Zoho Exchange Migration\bin folder, under the installation path.
