Migrating Shared Mailbox to O365 Group?
If we have a shared mailbox, lets say a years worth of history of emails, several folders in it, and we want to "migrate" over to an O365 Group: Does the conversations/inbox of a group have fold...
That's a no on all questions. If you are used to the way you dealt with messages in the shared mailbox, stick with it. If you want to add some group-based functinality, such as Planner, you will have to adapt to the conversation based style groups use, and forget about (sub)folders, rules, categories, etc.
The reality is that there is not such a migration path...for now Microsoft has only provided a way to migrate from distribution lists to Groups but not from Shared mailboxes to Groups.

Understood, just a little crazy. I did find a good enough solution for me. Mount the group mailbox as a shared folder in OWA and then drag and drop. I have very little groups. And just simple mailbox, no subfolders, etc.
- This sounds like it could work for me. Could you briefly explain how you mounted the group mailbox as a shared folder?
