Move from Outlook to MoovMail

Import Outlook mail using PST, live mailbox sync, or desktop-assisted export paths.

Migration options

Outlook migrations often begin with PST or mailbox-level sync, especially when users keep local archives on Windows laptops.

PST file import

Move local Outlook data into MoovMail by mailbox archive file.

PST

Best for: Desktop Outlook users with local mail history.

Before you start

  • Check if Outlook is using live Exchange, IMAP, or local PST storage.
  • Separate current mailbox data from historic local archives.
  • Decide whether to move full folders or selective mail only.

What information can be shared

  • Mailbox owner email
  • PST or EML archive if used
  • Source server details for live sync
  • Single or bulk user selection

Bulk users

For many Outlook users, keep a sheet of mailbox owners and note whether each user is live-sync, PST, or mixed.
