For each successfully completed mailbox migration in a plan, ODME can send an email notification to the source and / or target recipient.

Scope: 
Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Office 365, G Suite

PT150665771

New migration source and target types are supported by migration template. With the migration template, now you can migrate to Exchange and Office 365 from these platforms:

·         G Suite

·         GroupWise

·         Exchange

·         Office 365

PT142052219

Now it is not required to enable IMAP for migrations from G Suite on the organization level unless you need 'Important' and 'Starred' target folders to have the same non-English localized names as the corresponding Gmail labels on the source.

PT143961547

A number of mailboxes that can be migrated concurrently is not limited now.
Total number of running plans with the same administrator account is not limited now.

Also, a number of mailboxes that can be migrated concurrently per single plan is configurable: it can be adjusted to any desired value or set to unlimited. The default value is 500.

PT146596791

ODME is now able to migrate Recoverable Items from Exchange 2010 and higher.

Scope: 
Migration from Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016 and Office 365.

PT143788655

Now you can create a migration plan from a template.
The migration template was introduced to facilitate the creation of migration plan by specifying the connection properties and optional parameters for the migration.

PT146466199

Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 is no longer supported as a migration source.

PT148920927

Added possibility to configure various actions with forwarding on the source for migrations from Novell GroupWise:

·         DELETE - When arrived, emails are deleted and meeting requests are declined

·         KEEP - Emails remain in the Inbox folder

·         MARK AS READ - Emails are marked as read in the Inbox folder

PT147421857

ODME prompts users to install CPUU 5.7.2 for profile updates when migrating from Office 365 tenant to tenant with domain name transfer.

PT141830797

Added support for migration of Sticky Notes.

Scope: Migration from Microsoft Exchange 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 or Microsoft Office 365 to Microsoft Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016 or Microsoft Office 365.

PT146159941

Message size limit:

·         A message (including attachments if any) that exceeds the maximum message size (35 MB by default) will be skipped during the migration.

·         If a message is smaller than the maximum message size, but it has attachments that break the size limit, the message will be migrated without the attachments.

Previously, the maximum message size was applied to a message body only.

PT145480345

Migration of archive mailboxes from Exchange 2010 is now supported.

PT146514987

Scope: Migration from Microsoft Exchange 2010 to Microsoft Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016 or Microsoft Office 365

In case of the Move large attachments to OneDrive for Business option is not selected, both the migration throughput and content migration fidelity have been improved by using the Exchange Fast Transfer stream.

As a result, several product issues have been resolved. For details, see here.

PT146514645

Migration of mailboxes from Zimbra 6 and 7 is not supported anymore.

PT144681547

The consumption of ODME resources was reduced for better scalability.

This enhancement was implemented to optimize the content of processing flow. As a result, the consumption of ODME resources per migrated mailbox has been decreased for the benefits of scalability.

PT145267857

The volume of Azure storage that is used to facilitate gathering of migration statistics has been minimized. This lets you avoid excessive utilization of ODME resources in case of migration of extra-large mailboxes.

Scope: 
All supported migration scenarios.

Root-cause: 
ODME has the mechanism that facilitates gathering of migration statistics. This mechanism has the deficiency: excessive volume of Azure storage is consumed in case of migration of extra-large mailboxes. This deficiency leads to scalability issues that cause the migration slowdown.

PT133190503

For all supported migration scenarios, ODME internal application settings were aligned with Microsoft Azure best practices to ensure the best migration performance and scalability:

·         ODME application settings are set to process concurrent user requests

·         The Nagle’s algorithm that has a negative performance impact is turned off

PT141798857

Scope: Migration from G Suite to Exchange 2010, 2013 or 2016 and from Office 365 to Office 365

The migration performance has been increased up to 30 per cent by introducing multi-threaded upload operations.

PT145269949

In order to allow connectivity to the source and target email service, it is required to ensure that your firewall is opened for the IP addresses used by ODME. The list of IP addresses in the About box from the ODME home page now includes only the product deployments for the current Azure region. So, the region cannot be changed once the customer account is registered.

PT142847477

Overall responsiveness of the ODME portal has been improved.

PT142052299

Migration rescheduling strategy is improved for migrations from G Suite:
Once the size of migrated content has achieved the value of Gmail daily throttling limit, ODME pauses. The duration of this pause is calculated to ensure that the migrated content size for the last 24 hours will not exceed Gmail daily throttling limit. This is especially beneficial for migration of extra-large mailboxes.

PT141209477

ODME deployments now include Azure cloud data center in Australia.

PT140074101

As for migration from G Suite, the overall migration rate has been improved due to change of the message extracting protocol from IMAP to GMAIL API. Therefore daily limit for the amount of data you can extract from your G Suite source during a migration has been safely increased from 2.2GB to 10GB.

The new value will be applied to all newly created plans by default. In order to safely apply the new value to an existing plan, you need to stop the plan and update this value manually.

For details refer to Managing Google Throttling.
