Merging 0365 Email accounts

[gpjt]

Morning!

 

How would you suggest that i merge two O365 email accounts and make one of those primary? Both the domains are in the same tenant. The users currently have the two accounts seperate e.g [email protected], [email protected] and access at the moment through Outlook.

 

I've seen a few recommendations like:

 

Using powershell to merge them (limited knowledge on PS and would need the syntax to do so)

Move all the emails into the one account and then delete it and create the alias from the primary account

Merge PST's (although seen 3rd party tools that would need payment)

 

Is there another way?

 

TIA

The above may help get you to where you need to be...

Thank you!

 

Not sure i'm confident enough to mess with PS too much! They are SLT mailboxes, so don't want to mess it up!

You can always create a few test accounts and do it on them first

Ah SLT is slang for test accounts is it not? :-p

That second one should have Windows 10 branding, no?
