You will have to export the old messages manually, which is also a bit tricky for Groups as you cannot use the export functionality in Outlook. You either have to use some EWS-based tool or do an eDiscovery against the group, export the results to PST and import them to the new mailbox. Still a better approach than copying them all manually via OWA/Outlook 🙂
Thank you for your comment VasilMichev .
I was thinking in the next workaround:
- Add client1-mail@mydomain.com (personal mailbox) as member of group client1. So I can see the historical conversation of group.
- Change client1@mydomain.com (group) alias to client1-old@mydomain.com
- Change domain of client1-mail@mydomain.com (personal) to client1@mydomain.com
- Remove all members of the group except by client1@mydomain.com
- Hi,
did your procedure work? That's effectively just changing the group's email address. But if it suits your needs, go for it 🙂
