Finally found a reliable IMAP/Office 365 migration utility that runs natively on Linux

I manage a mostly Linux-based infrastructure and have been struggling to find migration software that doesn't require spinning up a temporary Windows VM.

Most of the popular enterprise options are Windows-only executables. However, after testing a few scripts and Java-based options, I managed to get a full migration running directly on Ubuntu using a tool that specifically supports a generic Linux startup script (startup.sh).

For those of you looking for the Best Email Migration tool that actually supports the Linux ecosystem, this one handles:

Source/Destination mapping via CSV.

Delta migration (skipping duplicates).

Concurrent mailbox transfers.

It requires JRE to be installed, but otherwise, it’s a smooth process compared to using Wine or a VM.

Has anyone else here successfully migrated an Office 365 tenant using only Linux-native tools?

If you have finally found a Windows-compatible IMAP/Office 365 migration tool that works. You should give TrustVare IMAP Backup Software a go. This tool lets you safely migrate or back up emails from any IMAP-based account, like Office 365, directly to your PC in formats like PST, MBOX, and other formats. It maintains all of your messages, attachments, and folder structure the same, so nothing gets lost or mixed up. Even if you are not extremely technical, it is easy to install and operate the software on Windows. You can also do bulk migrations, which saves time when you have to deal with a lot of accounts. It's easy to try it out before you buy it because there is a free demo. In general, it's a safe and easy approach to protect and send your emails.
