I used 2 utilities in concert to migrate: Out2Unix (web page is kinda down but the utility is still available): http://www.active-com.de/out2unix/ Outport: http://outport.sourceforge.net/ > Maybe with a little more knowledge I could have done > the same with Evolution.

I love the Unix concept of single purpose, single app because I'm a technician, but sometimes business objectives override the technological. In this case, the single purpose is having all pertinent and information regarding business activities in one, visible location. I know most people just use PIM for e-mail at home, in which case only a true nerd would be using a fully-integrated PIM (guilty as charged!). But when I'm working, I don't want to consult 12 apps running separately, because my business is tightly integrated between the people I need to talk to (Contacts), correspondence with said Contacts (E-mail), places I have to be (Calendar) and things I have to do (Tasks). I could go on (documentation in Journal, etc.). But frankly none of the current PIM offerings are really that robust that they centralize everything well, this side of a database back-end and custom app interface. So I have to say, I love the solution KDE has come up with to meet both needs (i.e. Kontact and KDEPIM).
