How to Migrate MDaemon to Exchange 2016/2019

Overview: Are you searching for a simple way to migrate MDaemon to Exchange? If yes, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog, we’ll explain how to move emails from MDaemon to Microsoft Exchange—step-by-step.

Let’s start by understanding the basics.

MDaemon is a mail server developed by Alt-N Technologies. It is popular among small businesses for its cost-effective email communication. MDaemon stores emails, contacts, and other data on local servers.

Microsoft Exchange, on the other hand, is a powerful mail server that supports advanced email management, scheduling, shared mailboxes, and integration with Microsoft 365. It is a preferred choice for businesses looking for cloud-based or on-premise enterprise-grade email solutions.

Migrating from MDaemon to Exchange can seem complicated, especially for non-technical users. But don’t worry! This guide will walk you through both manual and automated methods to transfer MDaemon emails to Microsoft Exchange Server or Exchange Online without data loss.

Before you start, make sure to have the following:

• Access to the MDaemon email server
• Microsoft Exchange Server (on-premises) or Exchange Online account
• Admin credentials for both platforms
• A proper backup of your MDaemon data

Let’s explore both migration methods in detail.

How to Migrate MDaemon to Exchange? (For Small Mailboxes Only)

If you have a few mailboxes, you can manually move your MDaemon emails to Exchange. Here’s how:

1. Open MDaemon.
2. Go to the mailbox folder.
3. Select all emails and export them in either EML or PST format.
4. MDaemon stores emails in .msg or .eml format by default, usually under C:\MDaemon\Users\.
5. Next, open Microsoft Outlook on your PC.
6. If you exported EML files, drag and drop them into an Outlook folder.
7. If you have PST files, use File > Open & Export > Import/Export to import them into Outlook.
8. Now, set up your Exchange account in Outlook.
9. After this, move the imported emails from your local Outlook folders to your Exchange mailbox.
10. Manually create folders in Exchange if needed.
11. Rebuild contacts, calendars, and mail rules by hand, as these don’t transfer automatically.

Note: This manual method works for small mailboxes only. It’s time-consuming and can cause data loss or a broken folder structure if not done properly.

For bulk or multiple mailboxes, using a professional migration tool is highly recommended.
