IMAP Migration to Shared Inbox
You can through IMAP just you do for a normal mailbox migrate a mailbox.
You need the credentials from the source mailbox and the emailadress from the shared mailbox. With an CSV file you can do the rest.

Maurits Knoppertthanks for you answer. SO the only way to do this is with a CSV file and not using the migration tool built into the admin portal?

Hello Robin,
Is the IMAP mailbox in the same tenant as the Shared MAilbox? If yes then you can update a mailbox to a shared mailbox otherwise you need the migration with a CSV file.

I have the same request! i have 20 odd IMAP 1emails (Cpanel type) and want to consolidate the domain and email into office 365
i have done the domain portion...all good! next
as i understand it, you can migrate imap only to a the extra same email box so:
user1@email.com ---> user1@email.com
and you need a real email on office365 side - so you have to buy or assign a license.
and only after days of syncing and waiting for the migratation to give "sucess" then you can convert that email to a shared email - you can then remove the license you bought! oh and as i understand it you can't remove the user that is attach to the shared email account - so you end up with user accounts that you don't necessarily need
what i would like to see is:
user1@email.com,user2@email.com,user3@email.com --> oldusers@email.com (shared)
