Having only done a migration to Google once, my notes from the job back in
2021 unhelpfully read:-

The domain was fairly new with only one mailbox hosted elsewhere, which
mitigated the risk.  I did not manage to find a better solution, but did
not have much time for research.

Hopefully Martin Hasenbein's suggestion will work, and I will keep a note
of it lest I need to do another migration to Google in the future.

Best wishes,
Matthew
