Hi TheOriginalStinger,

If you have no data on those Office 365 accounts, remove them and implement Exchange Hybrid and then migrate.

Hey Nuno, unfortunatly they already use both accounts, so inbox is used in both on prem and exchange online.

  Hi TheOriginalStinger,
  
  Depending on your scenario, you will need to migrate the content using a third-party tool, then you can implement hybrid and use a scenario of soft match to join the user https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2641663/use-smtp-matching-to-match-on-premises-user-accounts-to-office-365.

    NunoAriasSilva hey the users also are in an other domain will that matter. I don't need their domain 2 e-mail adress. It has to merge with the e-mail adress they already have of the principal domain.
    
    Thank you!
