I'm tired of having to put Exchange in the Iron Lung and recover mail, especially now that my boss (an accountant) has more or less made my job dependent on the performance of Exchange (it went down one day before I got in the office, but after the Uber-Boss was in and trying to send email -- sh*t rolls downhill, and I got a 'verbal warning', sigh). I would like to move all of our exchange mailboxes to an imap server. Outlook does not allow IMAP and Exchange/MAPI to be used at the same time, the only idea I have at the moment is to create personal folders for everyone, copy all of their email into it, switch Outlook to use IMAP, and upload all of the mail to the imap server. I don't like this solution, because it will involve sitting at each person's desktop. And imap-to-imap solution seems like it would be nicer for the mail move -- just copy all messages from one imap server (exchange) to another (running on RedHat). Has anyone else out there faced this type of problem, and have any experiences to share? Sorry for the OT post. :)
if you're planning on storing the mailboxes on linux in mbox format then I would suggest fetchmail just get everyone's passwords or change them, or whatever, and suck all the mail over, quickly. then take down the exchange box. presto. -sv
