When migrating Calendar items from Gmail to Exchange Server or Office 365, tracking statuses of attendees "Yes/Maybe/No" in the source meeting are not migrated to the corresponding statuses "Accepted/Tentative/Declined" for the meeting in the target organizer’s Calendar.

When migrating Calendar items from Gmail to Exchange Server or Office 365, some of recurring meetings with exceptions may not be migrated correctly with the following errors in the logs: "Failed to find the meeting occurrence for appointment...".

When migrating Calendar items from Gmail to Exchange Server or Office 365, some of recurring meetings with exceptions may not be migrated correctly with the following errors in the logs: "Failed to find the meeting occurrence for appointment...".

When migrating Calendar items from Gmail to Exchange Server or Office 365, the following exception may occur: "The operation can't be performed because the item is out of date.

When migrating Calendar items from Gmail to Exchange Server or Office 365, the following exception may occur: "MIME content conversion failed". As a result, the item is not migrated. This issue is caused by several MIME rules which are not supported by Office 365:
