Move email away from Microsoft 365 to a hosting account?

[GregW]

I have taken over a website and after discussions, the owners want to bring emails back to the hosting account domain (mysite.com.au) from Microsoft 365 for cost reasons.

What is the best way to achieve this and retain all emails, in, out or moved to folders?

Cheers

You can use Imap Import/Export function in DA (over an intermediate emailadress as example), or this should work too for ms365 (imap): https://www.mailstore.com/en/products/mailstore-home/

Your biggest hurdle might be OAuth, which the last time I did an O365 migration was a huge pain.

It was simplier in the end to add the new account to Outlook and then drag/drop the emails from mailboxes.

I haven't tried, but the MX for the domain goes to outlook, can i add another MX record for the domain and create new email addresses via the server that i can then import from outlook 365?

Ok seems this is not going to be easy

I am going to try it manually by creating the same email accounts but on another domain, login to both and then drag all emails on the 365 address to the other domain email address. Once I have done all 4 like this I can go back into the man domain, remove the 365 outlook mx record and create a new one for that domain, then I can create the email addresses in that domain and drag from the other domain to the correct domain and all should be sweet ... I hope.

Thats basically what I meant with an "intermediate emailadress", but you can use Imap ImportExport in DA for that, no need to manually drag all.
And with the mentioned "Mailstore Home" its even easier, no need for intermediate emailadress, just save it local.

Thanks, my misunderstanding
