This article explains how to migrate Zimbra to Microsoft 365 (Office 365) or to Google Workspace
For more details, please check out our admin guide.
The Cloudiway migration platform supports Zimbra server migration.
There are two modes of migration:
- migration with an admin account that has all necessary delegations to all mailboxes; and,
- self-service migration (when it’s not possible to have a delegated admin account).
Scenario 2 will be used in case Zimbra is a hosted service where the provider cannot give you an account that has permissions to all mailboxes. In this case, you would use the standard self-service mode where users migrate themselves by entering their credentials into a form.
How it works
The Cloudiway migration solution is a SaaS platform.
The migration requires the Zimbra server to be accessible from the SaaS platform.
Ports used
Cloudiway migration platform migrates the mails using IMAP.
Contacts and calendars are migrated using the native Zimbra APIs.

Zimbra admin port: 7071
