Error
The invalid value 'XYZ' was specified for the 'EmailAddress' element
Description
This error indicates that an item failed to migrate because one of its properties is invalid.
Cause
Often, the error will include corrupt characters. Sometimes, the error may include a string that looks valid, but in fact, contains invalid hidden or white space characters. As a result, the Destination system rejects the item. We often find that affected items were created by defective third-party applications (like business card scanning software which creates contacts with a corrupt email address).
Resolution
We recommend the following:
- Log the subject of failed items.
- Retry failed items (subjects will be logged).
- Review error logs to identify the offending items.
- Fix properties (i.e., open and save each item).
