Transferring Email from GMail to Office 365

Looking some clarification.

Want to incorporate another domain name currently using GMail business suite.
The are registered on GoDaddy.

Our own domain is O365 cloud based.

To change mail flow -is it a case of removing the GMail MX records īn the registered domain?
Then adding the existing MX record to the new domain ?
Xxx.com.mail.protection.outlook.com

Or are there further steps?

Just a final question.

How does the mail know where to be delivered to when changeover is complete to Office 365?
Do I setup an alias address in their Office 365 account ?

So about to change the MX record from GMail to Office but not sure how the mail is delivered to the Users

Shaun Hardneck

Hi Darrin in the Link provided you can follow step 6 and 7 .

We are not migrating the old mailboxes. (Not sure how this works moving forward after reading the document)

Or do you have to migrate the mailboxes?

Shaun Hardneck

if you are not migrating then create the user mailboxes before hand in Office 365 before cutting over the MX records.

Sorry I am still missing something.
The accounts have been setup for the Users coming over to Office 365 but are on a new domain.
So in fact they need to have 2 accounts, 1 for the new domain, 1 for their old domain.

Apologies for the confusion

Shaun Hardneck

In that case you can have two accounts , the account on office 365 and complete that setup ie. let all MX for that domain point to office 365 and once that is up and running and working add the old domain to office 365 as well and then either provide the old email addresses as aliases for those who need it.
