Transferring Mailbox from an old account to a new account

[Kelechi93]

I've got a Teacher who's just got married and wanted her name changed in all her accounts so i've made her a new one which includes a new email address. Does anyone have any idea how to transfer emails from an old account to a new one??????

 

I'm using Exchange if that helps

if your using office 365/exchange you could just set an alias address to the original account and then make that the default this means everything remains in the same account and emails still arrive to the old address.

this means you dont have to migrate anything you would simply have to update the users name. The user can simply log in with the new address and existing password.

Ahhh i do actually use both (make account on AD and then activate on Exchange and then Migrate to 365)
