I have not used the migrationwiz.com product before, but I can tell you
this:
1) If you have a cleartext copy of the user (e-mail addresses of their
mailbox) and password information, that can easily be scripted into the
vpopmail/bin/vadduser command to automagically (via script) add the
usernames and passwords.
2) Getting the old messages and folders may be more difficult -- but in
the past, I've just told individual users to copy over what they wanted
(thus, giving them a chance to clean out some messages) -- in fact, I
use a little "human engineering" here & lie -- telling them that we pay
extra for all the storage, so only copy what they really need!
Just my thoughts...

Hi,
Is anyone here familiar what is the best way to migrate from MS
Exchange to QmailToaster/IMAP?
This is the information I have to work with:
* I will be able to get the usernames and passwords for the remote MS
Exchange wembail
* I will have access to Outlook that has been installed for one of the
users for remote use: I am not sure how it connects to the Exchange,
via VPN or by some other means (MAPI?)
If I can get my hands on the remote Outlook, can I then use this
configuration with the other accounts as well to access the Exchange
server? I just thought to install the Toaster IMAP account as parallel
Inbox in Outlook and then manually copy all the messages folder by
folder.
I assume there is no open source alternative for
http://www.migrationwiz.com/ (has anyone used that service, btw)?
Best,
Peter
