Is there any way to migrate the mailboxes from Exchange pst files ?
 
Depending on your setup, DA uses either mbox or Maildir file/directory structures for saving email.

So the first place to look would be for conversion programs for Exchange pst files to either of these formats.

Then you'd have to give the resulting files the right ownership and permissions, and put them in the right places.

I feel you , but can't really find a converter from pst to that format.
 
I think according to my experience you should go for some automated solution like some software for the email migration from Exchange server or IMAP server. I have name for that you can try the Softaken IMAP to IMAP Migration application. This will allow you move all your emails data from one server to another softly without hassle.
 
You can try CubexSoft Exchange Migrator, a complete professional tool that will help you migrate your Exchange mailboxes to PST files or default Outlook Profile. Moreover, you can directly migrate your complete Exchange account data to another Exchange or Office 365 account. It convert complete data including emails, contacts, calendars, journals, tasks etc. and maintains complete data integrity throughout the process.

There is a new version since 2021 which does support oauth2 at least partly.
Can still be tricky though even now.

i have been reading the github related to this, and seems to be failing for some (or they haven't been able to do so correctly). sadly i failed too, so wanted to add it to the thread since it's the thread i found when looking information realted to it.
 
Yes, it does not work for everybody yet, investigation is still ongoing.
DA is not the only one having issues with this, all panels do.

At this moment, a free way is to create the account first in DA, then with an e-mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird, install both email accounts as IMAP accounts and then drag all mails from one account to the other one. Takes a lot of work, especially with a lot of clients.

Until Imapsync is fully compatible, probably the only other way is to use a paid tool.

Outlook client won't work either, since, it does not allow you to add 2 times the same email (with different configs), Thunderbird does allow that, so indeed is an option
 
Tobit.com david mailserver yes paid

"Diverse Schnittstellen (Exchange ActiveSync, POP3, IMAP)"

Have version for import export exchange , sofar i used it ok but longer ago

The david tobit mailserver is a much safer better solution then exchange , outlook 365 , ( privacy and security and more) in my view but you know MS :(

Yup I know Mailstore Home and use it as a backup for my e-mail, it's great for that. It does support oAuth2 but for Gmail accounts for example, you need an app password to have Mailstore functioning.
It can indeed also be used to imprt/export mail, even from webmail and to imap.
