 This HowTo describes the process of migrating data ( contact and calendar data ) from Outlook 200X to the PIM programs of the KDE-Desktop-Environment.
 The PIM programs are KAdddressbook and KOrganizer, which may be used embedded in the Kontact PIM management framework.
 This HowTo describes version 1.9.3a of the migration tools.
 The migration tools are the platform independent versions of KAdddressbook and KOrganizer: KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi.

 APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data
 
 ****************************************
 1) How to start
 ****************************************
 
 For the migration we need the actual Outlook 200X data, which Outlook stores in *.pst files.
 Then we need an installed version of Outlook 200X to access these  *.pst files.
 When we have an Outllook 200X running with all data accessable, we need the migration tools.
 
 If you have no Outlook200X installed please install the Outlook version, you need to a import your *.pst files.
 If you have an Outlook200X installed with no contact/calendar data available, and you have some  *.pst files please continue with: 2) How to import pst files in Outlook.
 If you have a running Outlook200X already with contact/calendar data available, please continue with: 3) Where to get the migration tools.
 
 
 ****************************************
 2) How to import pst files in Outlook
 ****************************************
 
-MISSING 
+To open a local *.pst file in Outlook2003, choose menu:
+File - Open - Outlook Data File ...
+Now the data included in this file is shown 
+as folders of a newly added root folder in the Outlook folder view.
+This root folder is probably not accessable from
+the migration tools via OLE. 
+To access data stored in one of the subfolders,
+copy this subfolder to a root folder, 
+which can be accessed from the migration tools via OLE.
+(To know, which folder can be accessed, just perform 5.) or 6.) until
+you get the Oulook import dialog!)
+
+To copy it, right click on that subfolder and choose
+Copy "<subfoldername>"...
+in the popup menu.
 
 ****************************************
 3) Where to get the migration tools
 ****************************************
 
 The data migration is is performed with the Windows versions of KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi.
 Pi stands for platform-independend - platform-independend because the same program is available for different platforms, like Windows, Linux desktop and Sharp-Zaurus PDA.
-Note: The Linux desktop versions of KOrganizer/Pi and KOrganizer/KDE-desktop are two different programs! You cannot use  KOrganizer/Pi together with or embedded in the KDE-desktop environment. The same is valid for KAdddressbook/Pi.
+Note: The Linux desktop versions of KOrganizer/Pi and KOrganizer/KDE-desktop are two different programs! You cannot use  KOrganizer/Pi together with, or embedded in, the KDE-desktop environment. The same is valid for KAdddressbook/Pi.
 
 The programs you need for the migration are: 
 a) KAdddressbook/Pi executeable + 2dlls + icons
 b) KOrganizer/Pi executeable + icons
-c) The Qt3 library qt-mt331.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll
-
+c) The Qt3 library qt-mt331.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll and the MSVC library mfc71u.dll
 You can download all of them at:
 
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/
 
 Download of a) and b)
 Please choose there package/project with name KDE/Pim
 (Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 )
 Choose there the topmost latest version and the files
 kapixxx-exe.zip
 kopixxx-exe.zip
 The latest version is currently ( 2004-07-13 ) 1.9.3a.
 Such that the files to download are
 kapi193a-exe.zip
 kopi193a-exe.zip
 
 To download b)
-Please choose there package/project with name KO/Pi - general files.
-(Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=116719 )
+Please choose there package/project/file:

+kdepimdll.zip
+
+(Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=122438&release_id=256700 )
 Choose there the file:
-kopidll.zip
+kdepimdll.zip
 
 Now you have downloaded the files
 
 kapi193a-exe.zip
 kopi193a-exe.zip
-kopidll.zip
+kdepimdll.zip
 
 and we can continue to install the files, which is simply unzipping them.
 
 
 ****************************************
 4) How to install the migration tools
 ****************************************
 
 You have downloaded the files
  
 kapi193a-exe.zip
 kopi193a-exe.zip
-kopidll.zip
+kdepimdll.zip
 
 Unzip these files.
-The directory "pics" of the kopidll.zip is useless now and can be completely ignored.
 Now choose an arbitrary installation directory, where to copy all the needed files together.
 You should have now the following files and the directory "kdepim" in the same directory:
 kopi.exe  
 kapi.exe  
 microkabc_dir.dll  
 microkabc_file.dll   
 msvcr71.dll
+mfc71u.dll
 qt-mt331.dll  
 ReadMich.txt
 kdepim (directory)
 
 The directory "kdepim" should contain subdirectories 
 kaddressbook  
 korganizer
 which itself contain some subdirectories with icons and help text.
 
 Now the migration tools are ready for use.
 
 
 NOTE AND HINT for performing migration on many workstations:
 Just burn the content of the installation dir on a CD.
 Then you can put the CD in every workstation and execute the migration tools from that CD directly.
 
 
 *************************************************************
 5) How to get the contact data out of Outlook200X
 *************************************************************
 
 Note: When accessing Outlook to read the data, it should not be possible, that there is any data lost in Outlook, because the progam accesses Outlook only Read-Only.
 
 You have the file
 kapi.exe  
 and the other needed files accessable on your workstation.
 
 Getting the contact data
 
 Please start kapi.exe.
 Choose menu:
 File - Import - Import from OL...
 You will get a dialog which shows all "Personal Folders" of Outlook.
 Choose the Contact Folder(s) you want to import and select them with a hook.
-(All other folder but the contact containing folders are shown, but disabled)
+(All other folder but the contact containing folders are shown, but disabled).
+(If the data you want to import is not stored in one of the shown folders,
+please read step 2.) and click on "close" ).
 Click the "import" button.
 Now Outlook asks you to allow access to the contact data.
 Select "Allow access" amd click "Yes" in this dialog.
 Now the importing is performed and KA/Pi will show a progress bar.
 After importing, KA/Pi shows a dialog, how much contacts are imported.
 If you press a second time "import" , already imported contacts are not imported again.
 After importing you can choose another "Contact Folder" to import or close the import dialog.
 Please close the import dialog.
 Now you see the imported contacts in KA/Pi on the left in the list view.
 Please verify, that the import was correct.
 About problems of mapping particular Outlook-data-fields to KAdressbook-data-fields see Appendix A).
 
 Choose menu:
 File - Save
 and close KA/Pi.
 Now you should have the contact data in the file std.vcf in your home directory in the path
 (YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\kabc\std.vcf
 
 Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination.
 Import that file into KAddressbook/Kontact via Import - Import vcard.
+Details about importing you can read at: 7) How to import your contact data into Kontact
 
 Now you have your Outlook200X contact data on the KDE desktop available and you are done with the migration of contacts.
 
 *************************************************************
 6) How to get the calendar data out of Outlook200X
 *************************************************************
 
 Note: When accessing Outlook to read the data, it should not be possible, that there is any data lost in Outlook, because the progam accesses Outlook only Read-Only.
 
 You have the file
 kopi.exe  
 and the other needed files accessable on your workstation.
 
 Getting the calendar data
 
 NOTE: Before extracting the calendar data, it is recommended to extract the contact data first.
 If you extract the contact data first, the identity (UID) of attendees of a meeting can be mapped correctly in the newly created appointments, such that you can access the attendee contact data later directly from KOrganizer.
 
 Please start kopi.exe.
 
 You will see a dialog, that you started KO/Pi for the first time and that the timezone configuration will be shown now. Confirm with "Ok".
 
 Now you will see the configuration dialog of KO/Pi.
 Please choose your timezone and adjust the daylight saving settings.
 The dialog shows defaults for CET (Central European Time), such that users located in central Europe simply can press "OK" in that dialog.
 (Note: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET).
 
 Now you will see the KO/Pi main window.
 Choose menu:
 File - Import from OL
 You will get a dialog which shows all "Personal Folders" of Outlook.
 Choose the Calendar Folder(s) you want to import and select them with a hook.
-(All other folder but the calendar data containing folders are shown, but disabled)
+(All other folder but the calendar data containing folders are shown, but disabled).
+(If the data you want to import is not stored in one of the shown folders,
+please read step 2.) and click on "close" ).
 Click the "import" button.
 Now Outllok asks you to allow access to the contact data.
 Select "Allow access" amd click "Yes" in this dialog.
 Now the importing is performed and KO/Pi will show a progress bar.
 After importing, KO/Pi shows a dialog, how much calendar items are imported.
 If you press a second time "import" , already imported calendar items are not imported again.
 After importing you can choose another "Calendar Folder" to import or close the import dialog.
 Please close the import dialog.
 Now you see the imported calendar items in KO/Pi.
 Please verify, that the import was correct.
 About problems of mapping particular Outlook-data-fields to KOrganizer-data-fields see Appendix B).
 Close KO/Pi - data will be saved automatically.
 
 Now you should have the calendar data in the file mycalendar.ics in your home directory in the path
 (YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\korganizer\mycalendar.ics
 
 Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination.
-Import that file into KOrganizer/Kontact via Import - Import iCal/ics file.
+Import that file into KOrganizer/Kontact.
+Details about importing your calendar data you can read at: 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact.
 (Warning again: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET).
 Now you have your Outlook200X calendar data on the KDE desktop available and you are done with the migration.
 
 Hint:
 If you want to use KO/Pi and KA/Pi on your windows desktop, you should read all the help information available in the KO/Pi Help menu. One Highlight of KO/Pi is the easy syncing with another *.ics file.
 (Information about syncing available in the KO/Pi help menu).
 Another hint:
 KO/Pi + KA/Pi ( = KDE-Pim/Pi ) are available for the Sharp Zaurus PDA.
 Syncing data works for KO/Pi ( version 1.9.3) but not yet for KA/Pi.

 APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data
 *************************************************************
 
 All data, which can be displayed and accessed in KAddressbook is imported from Outlook.
 In Outlook you can assign an attribute "This is the mailing address" to one of the addresses.
 This address shows up in KAddressbook twice.
 The first time with the original attribute from Outlook ( e.g. "work" for "business" in OL ).
 The second time with the  attribute "postal".
 
 All telephone numbers of OL are imported.
 OL offers special case telephone numbers, like "Assistant", which have no counterpart in KAdressbook.
 In that case, the imported number has special combined attributes in KAddressbook.
 Here is the mapping of types in OL to attributes in KA:
 
 OL type                 Attributes in KA
 
 Assistant               Work + Voice
 Business                Work
 Business2               Work
 BusinessFax             Work + Fax
 Car                     Car
 Home                    Home 
 Home2                   Home
 HomeFax                 Home + Fax 
 ISDN                    Isdn 
 Mobile                  Cell (displayed as Mobile Phone)
 OtherFax                Fax 
 OtherTelephone          Voice
 Pager                   Pager
 PrimaryTelephone        Pref ( displayed as typeless, with attribute preferred )
 TTYTDD                  Modem
 Telex                   Fax + Bbs (Bbs displayed as MailBox - not very senseful, sorry ...)
 CompanyMain             Work + Pref
 Radio                   Video 
 Callback                Voice + Pref
  
 Some mapping may not be very senseful, but it helps to identify the original OL types.
 
 
 *************************************************************
 APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data
 *************************************************************
 
 Almost all data, which can be displayed and accessed in KOrganizer is imported from Outlook.
 Attachments of appointments are not imported.
 KOrganizer may crash, when reading some kinds of attachments.
 These may be changed in future versions.
 
 Attendee lists of meetings and their state are imported in KOrganizer.
 
 A problem is importing some kinds of recurring events:
 
 First problem:
 OL offers a recurrence like
 - Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July.
 KOrganizer ( in versions < 3.3.0 ) does not offer that kind of recurrence.
 Such that  
 "Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July." 
 is converted to
 "Monthly recurrence, every 12. month, second Tuesday in month, StartMonth = July."
 which can be edited in KO.
 
 Second problem:
 OL offers an exception in a recurrence with other data/time.
 KO offers only an exception in a recurrence , where the exception is deleted from the row of all occurences.
 Such that  
 "Recurring event with exception, that  date XX should be at date YY" 
 in OL is converted to  two events in KO:
 "Recurring event with exception, that  date XX is not included" 
 "Non-recurring event at date YY with same data like the recurring event (e.g. Summary, location, attendee list, ...)"
