Any clues/ideas ?
for piler to import current emails, you have to present them to piler
somehow.
I was involved in importing several hundreds of GBs of legacy email to
piler. In that case the administrator iterated over the mailboxes, and
created pst files from them. Then we copied the pst files to piler, and
were running pilerimport against the pst files (with the help of the
readpst utility).
However I believe that there must be a way to export emails as EML
files.
I saw some 3rd party tools for Exchange, and even installed a specific
tool set, however I had a hard time getting support from them how to
use
it at all.
Another (although untested) option may be impersonation. The IMAP
protocol
allows you to impersonate a user. If that worked in Exchange, then you
may
specify a single account, and use it to access any mailbox with
pilerimport,
thus downloading and importing all current emails.
If other list members have a nice way to present Exchange emails to
piler,
then please let me know, even a commercial utility is welcome.
