Challenges to Migrate Gmail to Exchange Server

Recently I got a project, in which my client told me that in his present organization there were approximately 1000+ employees who utilize Google mail. Now, his organization decided to import all Gmail emails to Exchange Server 2016 mailbox.

There were various challenges to migrate email from Gmail to Exchange Server.

Challenge 1:

The first challenge was the mailbox size to be migrated from Gmail to Exchange Server. For the last 5 to 10 years, the employees are using Google mailboxes from the same organization. Therefore, there must be a huge amount of data in the Gmail account of employees.

 Challenge 2:

Another challenge was that they need only particular emails to be transferred from Gmail to Exchange Server. But there were a high amount of mailboxes. Moreover, some are having 2 Gmail accounts also.

After figuring out all the challenges. I started exploring some direct solutions to export Gmail to Exchange Server. Performing a manual way will be lengthy as well as time-consuming.
