Both Google Workspace and Office 365's admin center offer a manual or on-premises way of data migration. The whole process is divided into many stages, and each stage has multiple steps. Therefore, the process of this process is much more complicated than the third-party migration method, takes a lot of time to complete, and may fail if there is a slight error or network problem.

The whole process includes:

1. Verify that the two platform domains are the same;
2. Create a user in the target account;
3. Create a list of mailboxes for migration in a CSV file;
4. Create a Gmail IMAP migration endpoint;
