Purpose and Concept

First, read the disclaimer. Don't argue, just do it...now...please.

Thanks. OK, now the purpose and concept of freeemailmigrations.com is quite simple, to freely provide all of the tools and knowledge necessary to enable qualified IT technical resources to quickly learn how to and perform email migrations without the need to purchase commercial tools or pay outside consultants (like I used to be). Within this site, you will find more information than you ever wanted to know about how to perform email migrations along with the necessary tools to make your email migration a success.

These are the exact same tools and processes used by myself and others to complete email migrations for dozens of world-class organizations, including email migrations for Marathon Oil/Ashland Petroleum, Owens Corning, Yum! Brands, Inc. (Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut), Hilton Hotels and many, many others. These tools were designed to be quickly learned and deployed and to provide the ability to scale to migrating hundreds or thousands of mailboxes per night in multiple countries with resource requirements for only one or two IT personnel.

As I mentioned, all of these tools and knowledge are made freely available to you for whatever purpose you desire. There are no restrictions on how you can use or distribute this software or information. Software is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

While you are under no obligations what-so-ever, we do ask that if you use these tools that you consider letting us know so that we may add you to the growing list of organizations and individuals that have benefitted from freeemailmigrations.com Also, if you make modifications and/or improvements please consider sending us back a copy of your modifications so that we can take a look at incorporating your changes into the core distribution for the benefit of everyone. And, finally, if you are feeling particularly generous and would like to contribute toward the maintenance and administration of this site, you can send your donation to the following address:
