A successful mailbox login does not prove the mail migration is complete.

Test:

  • external -> user;
  • user -> external;
  • internal -> internal;
  • application/device relay;
  • aliases/groups/shared mailboxes;
  • replies;
  • attachments;
  • SPF/DKIM/DMARC;
  • gateway and connector paths;
  • quarantine/filtering;
  • message tracing/logging;
  • mobile/client access where relevant.

Keep the old platform observable during the stabilization period so forgotten senders or cached routes are visible.
