Mail Rules

Transend Migration Console supports the migration of select Mail Rules between select source and target platforms. Only mail rules that are supported by both the source and target platforms can be migrated.

Important:

  • When migrating to Microsoft 365 or Exchange from a source platform with Mail Rules support (as defined below), the migration of Mail Rules is enabled by default and no adjustments to the Option entry is required. To disable the migration of mail rules to Microsoft 365 or Exchange, deselect the Include mail rules box in the target option settings.

  • When migrating to Google Workspace, you must follow the below steps to enable the /MAILRULES Custom Option. Without enabling the Custom Option (as defined below) no mail rules will migrate.

To enable the migration of supported Mail Rules to Google Workspace, follow these steps:

  1. On the Configuration Settings > Optional screen, select the Advanced Options tab at the top.
  2. Check the “I know what I’m doing! Edit Advanced Options” checkbox. Alt text
  3. Scroll down to the bottom right of the screen to Custom Options.
  4. Enter /MAILRULES into the Custom Options field. Alt text
  5. Click Continue at the top right of the screen.
  6. Supported Mail Rules that are enabled in a source mailbox will now migrate to the target mailbox.
