Common Questions

Format and migration FAQ

Pre-purchase questions about format compatibility, migration scope and demo limits.

Does the demo version cost anything?

No. The demo version of every PCDOTS converter is completely free. The demo lets you load files, preview content and convert a limited number of items per folder so you can verify compatibility and output quality before purchase.

To convert unlimited data, purchase a license. Every paid license is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I migrate from Zimbra directly to Office 365?

Yes. Load your Zimbra TGZ archive into PCDOTS Email Converter and select Office 365 as the destination. The tool authenticates with your Office 365 account and uploads emails, contacts and calendar items directly. No intermediate file conversion is needed.

Cloud-to-cloud destinations require a Pro or Enterprise license.

Is the original folder structure preserved after conversion?

Yes. The conversion engine preserves the original folder hierarchy from the source file. Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash, custom subfolders and any nested structure are recreated exactly in the destination format. Email metadata (sender, recipients, dates, headers) and attachments are also preserved.

Can I preview emails before converting them?

Yes. After loading source files, the tool shows a complete preview panel with multiple view modes: Normal, Properties, Message Header, Hex, MIME, RTF, HTML and Attachments. This is useful both for verifying conversion accuracy and for forensic email analysis.

Is there a limit on file size or number of items?

Paid licenses convert unlimited emails, contacts and calendar items. There is no cap on file size or item count and the converter has been tested on PST and OST files exceeding 50 GB.

The free demo limits conversions to a small number of items per folder so you can verify the output before buying.

What if my email format is not listed here?

Most email clients ultimately store data in one of the formats listed above (PST, OST, MBOX, EML, MSG, OLM, DBX, etc.). If you can locate your email data files on disk, the tool likely supports them.

If you're unsure, start a live chat with our team and describe your source format. We can confirm compatibility before you purchase.
