1090.0. "UNIX Mail Server migration?" by BARNA::DSMAIL () Thu May 29 1997 14:05

Hi,

A Governement installation who is now offering a mail service using an 
UNIX SERVER to anybody with a POP client, wants to migrate to an
NT SERVER running EXCHANGE.

Is any way to migrate the pending mail? because of not all mail 
will be downloaded by the POP clients before the migration.

Any body could help us?

Regards,

		Josep

1090.1Resource Kit saves the day...NQOS01::dyo_dial1_port4.dyo.dec.com::YinglingDave @DYOThu May 29 1997 15:3511
Hi Josep,

  You are in luck!  The Exchange resource kit, free for the downloading from 
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange has a tool named the UNIX Mail Source 
Extraction Tool.  From the description, it appears to know how to read a UNIX 
mailbox and even creates the Exchange mailbox for you.  This should convert 
all the mail that has not yet been "POPed".

Regards,

Dave

    Well, I still don't see how a lowly UNIX user can move his existing
    mail to Exchange folders.  Microsoft has provided the source code to
    convert UNIX mail to some intermediate format.  Unfortunately, I can't
    find "Microsoft Exchange Migration Wizard Import from Migration Files"
    option on the Exchange client.
    
    I want to move my UNIX folder to Exchange private folder keeping From:
    To: Date: and Subject: intact.
    
    Exchange client only allows import of .MMF files
