How to Migrate from LogicBoxes to Office 365?

LogicBoxes is one of the leading web hosting companies which provides email hosting services along with multiple other business solutions. It provides a relatively simple user interface for its webmail. It offers a sidebar that displays upcoming events on the calendar as well as provides live news, updates, and RSS feeds directly into the inbox. Its email client also includes a mobile version, from which users can access their webmail from anywhere. Even after offering these many benefits, the lack of self-explanatory features, scalability, and frequent poor loading times cause users to move to alternative email hosting services. In this article, we will focus on migrating emails to a comprehensive suite like Office 365 from LogicBoxes.

Migrating to Office 365 has several benefits:

• Along with email services, the Microsoft 365/ Office 365 productivity suite offers a wide range of applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as well as other collaboration tools such as Teams, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint.
• Microsoft 365/ Office 365 is a massively scalable solution that is secured by enterprise-level security and the service level agreement (SLA) of Microsoft.
• Businesses have complete control over their Microsoft 365 tenant and can tailor the service to meet their requirements.
