Outlook Online (Office 365)
Learn how to connect to an Outlook Online (Office 365) account.
Introduction
Connecting to Outlook/0365 for Mailbox migrations is fast to set up and fully supported in Movebot. Movebot uses the Microsoft Graph API with Application authentication for access.
If you are migrating Calendars - we would recommend using the EWS integration Outlook Online (Office 365) EWS. At this time, the Microsoft Graph API always sends calendar invitations, which can be problematic during a migration.
The legacy EWS API will not send invitations.
