Frequently Asked Questions
Can I migrate Zoho Mail to Exchange Online (Microsoft 365)?
Yes. Exchange Online is one of the primary supported destinations. You’ll need Microsoft 365 admin credentials or a user access token to authenticate the destination. The migration process is the same as for on-premises Exchange.
Do I need Outlook installed to migrate from Zoho to Exchange?
No. The Turgs Email Backup Wizard connects directly to both Zoho and Exchange via server protocols without needing Outlook as an intermediary. You run it from any Windows PC with internet access to both servers.
Will the migration preserve my Zoho folder structure in Exchange?
Yes. The tool maps Zoho folders to Exchange folders of the same name. Emails from each Zoho folder appear in the corresponding Exchange folder after migration, preserving your original organization.
Can I migrate multiple Zoho accounts to Exchange simultaneously?
The tool processes accounts sequentially by default. For bulk migration of many accounts, the tool may offer batch mode. Check the tool documentation for multi-account options specific to your version.
What Zoho IMAP settings should I use for the migration?
Zoho IMAP server is imap.zoho.com on port 993 with SSL enabled. If you use a custom Zoho domain, the IMAP server may be imap.zoho.eu or imap.zohomail.com depending on your account region. Check your Zoho Mail settings under Settings, IMAP Access for the exact server address.
Will emails appear immediately in Outlook after migrating from Zoho to Exchange?
Yes. Once the migration completes and emails are on Exchange, Outlook connects to Exchange and downloads them automatically. If Outlook is already connected to Exchange while the migration runs, new emails from Zoho appear in Outlook as they arrive during the migration process.
