Is migrating quick, easy, and painless?

0

Um, no, not exactly, but most people do manage to survive [grin]. The amount of time it takes depends on how many thousands of messages you will migrate, how many attachments you migrate, and whether you use the built-in tools or third-party tools. You’ll need to set aside time to do a virus scan on both your mail files and attachments BEFORE migrating. A simple migration will only take an hour or so; if you’ve saved every message you’ve ever gotten, you can expect to spend several hours (and possibly let the migration run overnight).
