Migrating Hotmail to Office 365 mailbox account, can be done manually through the Outlook app. First, add your Hotmail account in Outlook, then add the Office 365 account. Drag-and-drop or copy emails from your Hotmail folders to the Office 365 folders within Outlook. However, this manual process has some challenges: it’s time-consuming, especially for large mailboxes, and it can lead to errors or data loss if interrupted. Additionally, folder structures might not transfer perfectly, and the manual approach lacks automation for ongoing synchronization.
To simplify the process, consider using a specialized tool like Migrate Cloud Data Hotmail Backup Tool. This tool streamlines migration by automating email transfer directly to Office 365 while preserving folder structure, attachments, and email properties. It reduces the risk of data loss and ensures that your Hotmail mailbox is accurately mirrored in Office 365, making the process efficient, secure, and reliable.
