Cigati Email Migrator vs MailJerry

Cigati Email Migrator transfers PST and OST files and IMAP mailboxes to file formats and email platforms. It supports single and bulk migrations, including importing IMAP accounts in batches from a CSV file. Destinations include PST, PDF, Office 365, IMAP, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365/Outlook; IMAP migrations also support additional export formats. The product says it preserves folder structure, email properties, attachments, contacts, calendars, and tasks. Users can filter by date range and folders, and PST/OST jobs can also filter by item type. Duplicate detection compares subject, sender, recipient, CC, and body, while an option skips items transferred earlier. Migration reports list successful, skipped, and failed items. PST/OST migrations can export contacts as VCF and calendars as ICS, and split output PST files by a user-defined size. Preview is available for a single selected PST/OST file and for IMAP mailboxes after a successful connection. The free demo transfers only the first 100 emails per folder; the page does not state a time limit. For Microsoft 365 IMAP migration using modern authentication, administrator consent is generally required, though user-level credentials may work where supported. Cigati says its products process data locally.

MailJerry is a cloud tool for moving email data directly between providers. It transfers messages, folders, drafts, labels, and sent objects, and says it works with all IMAP providers; named services include Gmail, Microsoft 365, Exchange, Yahoo, GMX, and iCloud. Bulk migration can handle multiple mailboxes, with CSV upload available on paid plans. Paid features can synchronize mailboxes, transfer new messages automatically, or back up email on daily, weekly, or monthly schedules. Controls include date-range filtering, bandwidth throttling, migration status details, and automatic reconnection after a server interruption. MailJerry says email data is encrypted, message contents are not readable by the tool, and messages are not stored. It states that its migration tool complies with GDPR. The free plan allows unlimited mailboxes but caps each at 150 MB and concurrent migrations at three; it excludes auto-sync, backup, bulk migration, CSV upload, and date filtering. The monthly plan is $14.90 a month, and the yearly plan is $129.90 a year; both include VAT. Calendar and contact migration are not supported.
