Also, if you get more emails in your mailbox, you have to perform the steps again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Launch <strong>Outlook<\/strong> and go to <strong>File&gt;Open &amp; Export&gt; Import\/Export<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the <strong>Export to a File<\/strong> tab from the list and click on the <strong>Next<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, select the <strong>Outlook Data File (.pst)<\/strong> and tap on the <strong>Next<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, click on the <strong>Account<\/strong> that you want to export and tick the include subfolder option.

So to do this, apply the same for part 2. But you have to choose Microsoft 365 instead of an IMAP connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firstly, to open the Import and Export wizard, click on the <strong>File&gt;Open &amp; Export&nbsp;<\/strong>and choose the <strong>Import\/Export<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the <strong>Import from Another Program<\/strong> <strong>or File<\/strong> from the list and click on the <strong>Next<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, select the <strong>Outlook Data File (.pst)<\/strong> and press the <strong>Continue<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here add the PST files created in part 3 and click on the <strong>Browse<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, opt for the inbuilt option to remove the duplicate emails and press the <strong>Next<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the next step, if you assigned a password to the PST file, then type the password and click on the <strong>Ok<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, choose the Import Items into the same folder and you have to select the <strong>Office 365<\/strong> mailbox account from the dropdown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At last, hit the <strong>Finish<\/strong> button to complete the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, Outlook will immediately start copying the information from the PST file to your <strong>Microsoft 365<\/strong> mailbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here the whole migration process gets completed. Now, you will find the <strong>HostGator<\/strong>-hosted email in your Office account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, if you import bulk emails, this process can take up to 2-3 hours to complete. If Outlook is shut down or disconnected from the internet before importing, it will again resume the process. Hence, to avoid such situations, you can also opt for the alternate solution to set up Hostgator email settings for Outlook 365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the above process, you can successfully Migrate HostGator Email to Office 365.
