The data migration service communicates over TLS and requires your source account to have a TLS certificate. A third-party root certificate authority (CA) must sign and trust the certificate. If your email server has a self-signed certificate, you can't use the data migration service.
Before you begin
TLS and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are often both referred to as SSL.
When you create your certificate, we recommend that you:
Change the default size of your key ring from 512 to 2,048 bits.
Complete optional fields, like city or locality, when you create your key ring. Some CAs require this information.
If your CA provides both trusted root and intermediate certificates, install both types of certificates into the key ring before you merge your actual certificate.
Step 1: (Optional) Create your certificate
You can usually purchase and manage TLS certificates from your domain host. If you use a TLS certificate from another company, you might need to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This request helps provide third-party certificate issuer information to your domain host so you can install the TLS certificate.
Make sure yourserver is set up toallow TLS 1.2 connections.
Use a TLS certificate verifier to inspect the installation and signing of the TLS certificate. For example, DigiCert offers an SSL Certificate Checker. If the TLS certificate is trusted, the verifier displays a successful connection message. It includes details about the TLS certificate and trusted internet root authority. If the certificate isn't trusted, the verifier displays a warning message.
Note: If you're checking the certificate of an IMAP server, specify port 993 in the verifier. For example, mail.example.com:993.

An SSL/TLS certificate is a digital object that allows systems to verify the identity & subsequently establish an encrypted network connection to another system using the Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) protocol.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates, also known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are essential to securing internet browser connections and transactions through data encryption.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) encrypts data sent over the Internet to ensure that eavesdroppers and hackers are unable to see what you transmit which is particularly useful for private and sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal correspondence.
Without an SSL certificate, a website's traffic can't be encrypted with TLS. Technically, any website owner can create their own SSL certificate, and such certificates are called self-signed certificates.
The fix is easy: In the windows search box, near the Windows Start button, type Internet Options. Open the result Internet options - control panel. Then click the Advanced tab. Scroll down in the long list to security and make sure use TLS 1.2 is checked.
Certificate issues: Revoked, inactive, or expired certificates can cause TLS errors. A handshake failure may also occur when the hostname doesn't match the common name (CN) in the certificate.
Enable TLS for client connections. To enable TLS for client connections: From your database's Security tab, select Edit. In the TLS - Transport Layer Security for secure connections section, make sure the checkbox is selected.
