Hi, Damir. Mailbox migrations are, and have been, an all or nothing request. Once the migrations starts it will continue to run until complete, unless there's an error. 

Strange behavior. Thnx for the explanation.

Hi Derek,

 

I'd suggest you change this back to "reported" because there are issues in the migration process where they get stalled for whatever reason, and then don't show in the "current migrations" area of the admin but do show as in progress in the user area with no way to cancel them other than to delete the folders from the server and bounce the service.

 

It happened to me last week, and there are other threads in the community about the same subject.  Ideally, the "cancel" button should either 1) not exist if it doesn't do anything, or 2) actually cancel a migration.

Hi Derek,

Shaun is right 100%. For what the cancel button if it does not do anything. 

Also after migration of a mailbox (4GB) i wanted to delete it and it stucks. I had to delete the folder and stop/start the service.

Something is wrong here.

Here are the other two older threads which discussed this behavior of a hung migration with no way to cancel it from the UI.  Again, this happened to me last week so this is not resolved.

 

 

 

 

Jeez...pilling on! :)

 

Okay, I've modified this and alerted the developers. 

It takes a brave man to admit when he's wrong...and I was wrong. The cancel button WILL cancel the migration. What that means is that no more information will be brought into the system, but if things like emails, contacts, etc. are already queued up, then those will complete. That's why, Damir, when you hit the Cancel button there's still a progress bar: it has to finish what it's already started.

 

As for migrations hanging, we're looking into that. Going to leave this as "Submitted" for now, though, as we'll want to recreate it so we can find out what's going on. 

Hi, are there any news?

Is there a temporary workaround for this? Pressing 'Cancel' simply does nothing and just closes the popup window, so accessing the 'Mailbox Migration' link again returns you to the same dialog/popup.
