Hi Tom,

I also have the GSuite Legacy and am trying to figure out where I move it.

It depends on what your needs are.

Do you use catch-all or aliases?
How many email accounts do you have?
How many domain names do you have?


The main options I have been looking at are

Microsoft 365 Family $127 per year
6 people with one custom domain.
Plus you get the Microsoft Office suite, 1TB OneDrive.

iCloud+
You can use up to five custom domains, with up to three personalised email
addresses per domain.
This might be a good option if you are already paying for iCloud+ storage
as you get this included.
50 GB: $1.49 per month
200 GB: $4.49 per month
2 TB: $14.99 per month

You can also go down the Microsoft Exchange online route which gives you
900 domains and 400 alias.
$5.50 per user per month

I have been following this Reddit group
https://www.reddit.com/r/gsuitelegacymigration for information and ideas.

The main suggestion for migrating emails is to just use IMAP, your mail
client (Outlook/Thunderbird/etc) and copy from one service to another.
I believe Exchange Online has migration tools that can do it for you if you
go for that service.
I have also been looking at https://imapsync.lamiral.info/

I am still waiting to see what options Google comes out with as some people
believe google will provide a low cost "Family" style option like Microsoft.

I have also been considering getting a Microsoft Action Pack subscription
which gives me 5 Office 365 E3 licenses and Azure credits.
A lot more costly but I have been thinking about trying out personal
projects in the Azure stack.

Regards



Adrian
