Corbett

Email Migration Tool

Corbett Email Migration Software signs in to one live mailbox, then writes it into another. Gmail, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Zimbra and any IMAP host work as the source or the destination. Folders, dates and read status arrive as they left, Windows only.

Route coverage

Cloud to cloud

  • Gmail
  • Google Workspace
  • Microsoft 365
  • Outlook.com

  • iCloud

On-premises servers

Anything else

Moving a whole team rather than one mailbox?

Load the source and destination pairs from a CSV and Email Migration Software maps them for you, one row per user.

Core features

What the Email Migrator Does

Four screens from the mailbox migration software, in the order a move runs.

Source and destination sign-in

Both ends at once

Sign In to Each Side

Pick the service at each end and the host and port resolve on their own. Where a provider needs it, modern authentication takes you through the usual consent screen instead of asking for a password.

  • Server details detected for named providers
  • Modern authentication or an app password, whichever the host wants
  • Source and destination need not be the same kind of service
  • Many user pairs loaded at once from a CSV
Folder tree before a move

Scope the move

Choose What Actually Moves

The source mailbox opens as a folder tree with a checkbox on every branch and a message count beside it. Most moves leave Spam and Trash behind. That is one checkbox rather than a manual step.

  • A checkbox on every folder and subfolder
  • Message counts so the size of the run is clear first
  • Duplicate detection keeps repeats out of the destination
  • Read and unread status arrives the way it left
Migration filters and start button

Narrow it down

Move a Date Range, Not Everything

Filters run before anything is written, so a five year archive can go across as the last two years and nothing else. Useful when the destination has a quota the source never had.

  • Date range with a From and a To
  • Sender, subject, content or attachment presence
  • File size and message properties
  • Search inside the mailbox before you commit
Destination mailbox options

Where it lands

Pick the Destination Mailbox

On Microsoft 365 the target does not have to be the primary mailbox. Archive, shared and public folder mailboxes are all valid destinations, which matters when the mail is being kept as a record rather than for daily use.

  • Primary, archive, shared or public folder mailboxes
  • Folder hierarchy rebuilt at the destination
  • A CSV report of what moved, saved when the run ends
  • The run resumes where it stopped if the line drops

Before you start

Email Migration Scope and Limits

Email migration software copies a mailbox from one live account into another live account, keeping the folder structure, dates and read status. Email Migration Software runs the move once, from the mailbox you are leaving to the one you are keeping. It is not a sync tool. What that rules out is listed below.

Yes

A single cutover

Leaving an employer, closing an old provider, moving a whole domain to a new host. You run it, it finishes, you are done.

No

Scheduled delta sync

There is no scheduler and no incremental mode. A second run copies everything you select again rather than only the new mail.

No

Tenant settings

Mail, folders and contacts move. Security policies, admin settings, licence assignments and Gmail labels stay where they are.

Want the mail as a file instead of in a second account? That is the email backup software, with provider pages for the Gmail backup tool, Outlook.com backup tool, Hotmail backup tool, Office 365 backup tool and Yahoo backup tool and the iCloud backup tool, Webmail backup tool, Google Workspace backup tool. Going the other way, from a file into an account, is the email recovery software. Reading a file without writing anything is the free email viewer software.

Free demo

Test the route before you buy

Install it, sign in to both accounts, select one folder and check that the mail arrives. Nothing moves until you start the run.

Common questions

Email Migration Questions

What moves, what stays in the old account and where Email Migration Software stops.

Can it run again later and move only the new mail?

No. There is no scheduler and no incremental mode, so a second run copies everything you select rather than only what changed. Duplicate detection stops the same message landing twice, but a repeat run still reads the whole selection. Plan it as one cutover.

Does it move anything besides email?

Contacts, calendars, tasks and notes travel with the mail where the source holds them. Security policies, admin settings, licence assignments and anything else that lives at the tenant rather than in the mailbox stay where they are.

Does it delete anything from the old mailbox?

No. The source is read only. Mail is copied out, never moved out, so the old account still holds everything until you close it yourself.

Can I migrate a whole team in one run?

Yes. Put one row per user in a CSV, source address in one column and destination in the next. Email Migration Software matches each pair and processes them one after another. A CSV report at the end records what moved for each user.

Will it create duplicates if some mail is already at the destination?

Duplicate detection compares messages before writing and skips ones already present. Narrowing the folder selection or the date range first is still worth doing on a mailbox that is partly populated.

Can it write to an archive or a shared mailbox?

Yes. On Microsoft 365 the destination can be the primary mailbox, the archive mailbox, a shared mailbox or a public folder. Pick the type when you connect the destination account.

Does it support modern authentication?

Yes. Where a provider offers it you sign in through the usual consent screen rather than typing a password. On services that still want an app password, which is most of them once two-factor authentication is on, generate one in the account security settings and use that.

Is there a limit on mailbox size or user count?

No. Neither the mailbox nor the number of users is capped. A large move takes longer because both providers throttle how fast mail can be read and written, but nothing stops part way. If the connection drops the run resumes where it stopped.

Do the two accounts have to be the same kind of service?

No. Zimbra to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace to Gmail, Rackspace to Outlook.com, an old IMAP host to a new one. Both sides are treated the same way, so the pair can be anything the list covers.

Does my mail pass through your servers?

No. Email Migration Software runs on your machine and opens a connection to each provider from there. Mail travels between the two accounts and your PC. Nothing is stored or relayed by Corbett.

Does it run on Mac or Linux?

No. Email Migration Software is a Windows application only, from Windows 7 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 through 2025. There is no macOS or Linux build.

What does the free demo include?

It connects both accounts, loads the full folder tree and gives you every filter and preview the licensed edition has. The move itself stops at 10 emails from each folder, which is enough to check the route works before you buy.
