You can either use a manual process or a professional process to migrate emails from HostGator to Office 365. Enable IMAP on HostGator's email account settings, and then import the account into Outlook or any other email client. Use the Import/Export feature of Outlook to migrate emails into Office 365, or manually drag and drop messages between accounts. Alternatively, forward individual emails or use third-party migration tools.
Nonetheless, manual method has limitations as well, and they are:
IMAP sync delays and possibility of losing folder structures
Transfer of large mailboxes may timeout, and attachment sizes above 150MB will fail
It is time-consuming to do it manually, and server-side filters or rules will not be brought over.
