MigrationWiz now offers the option to migrate recoverable items in Microsoft 365 and Exchange environments. This option is applicable to Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 migration scenarios and Exchange (2013+ or Hosted) to Microsoft 365 migration scenarios.

Migrating Litigation Hold Data for Inactive Users

Inactive mailboxes are not supported with MigrationWiz. To migrate these users, activate them and migrate as part of a regular migration. Use the steps in this Microsoft document to restore the mailboxes before migrating: Restore an inactive mailbox

Archived recoverable items may now also be migrated for Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 migrations only. 

This will migrate the following recoverable items:

• Mail
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Tasks
• Journals
• Notes

The following folder types are supported:

• Recoverable items: Deletions
• Recoverable items: Purges
• Recoverable items: Versions
• Recoverable items: DiscoveryHolds

 Note: Subfolders for Recoverable and Archived Recoverable items are not supported.

Migration Steps

Recoverable items

To migrate Recoverable Items, follow the steps below. 

1. Create a new Mailbox migration project.
2. Set source and destination to "Recoverable Items."
   
3. Add Support Option MigrateAllRecoverableItems=1. This option is needed to enable recoverable items migration. 
4. Add Support Option OverrideRecoverableItemsFolderMapping=1. This option will apply folder mappings from source to destination for Deletions, Purges, and Versions. Without this item, all source folders will be migrated to Recoverable items -> Deletions.
   
   
5. Start migration by selecting only "Mail" items in the "Select what to migrate" section. This will migrate all items. However, the folder type for recoverable items is recognized as a Mail folder by MigrationWiz. 

Archived Recoverable Items

1. Set up a Personal Archive Project.
2. Set the source and destination to "Archive Recoverable Items."
   
3. Add Support Option MigrateAllRecoverableItems=1. This option is needed to enable recoverable items migration. 
4. Add Support Option OverrideRecoverableItemsFolderMapping=1. This option will apply folder mappings from source to destination for Deletions, Purges, and Versions. Without this item, all source folders will be migrated to Recoverable items -> Deletions.
   
   
5. Start migration by selecting only "Mail" items in the "Select what to migrate" section. This will migrate all items. However, the folder type for recoverable items is recognized as a Mail folder by MigrationWiz. 

Both source and destination endpoints must be in Microsoft 365 for this option to be visible.
