Exchange to Google - What data is migrated?


Mail
Migrated to Google Apps
All email in top-level folders is migrated. A top-level folder is any folder that resides at the same level as your Inbox folder.
Folders map to labels in Google Mail.
You can elect to omit top-level folders from migration. If you omit a folder, its subfolders are also omitted.
Migration is optional. Deleted items are labeled Trash in Google Mail.
(Microsoft® Exchange only)
Messages whose total size exceeds 25 MB (message plus attachments) aren’t allowed in Google Mail.

Calendar
Migrated toGoogle Apps
Note:
If you are using an exported or archived PST file, it is not possible to identify the primary root folder for Calendar and Contacts. Therefore, all calendars are migrated as “additional calendars” into Google Apps Calendar, instead of any default calendar. You can avoid this by using PST migration for mails only, and use Exchange server migration for migrating calendars.
Shared calendars are migrated for the owner, but not for other users who have access.

Separate contacts folders don’t to Google Apps. Instead, all contacts from all folders are migrated, and then appear together in Google Apps under My Contacts. You can reorganize them using Google groups.
Mailing lists don’t migrate to Google Apps. But you can still email a list from Google Apps by creating a Google group.

You need to migrate domain contacts separately, using a utility like Google Apps Directory Sync. For more information, see Migrate your shared contacts to Google Apps.
