MigrationHowTo_OL2KDE.txt.zip
This HowTo describes the process of migrating data ( contact and calendar data ) from Outlook 98/200X (TM) to the PIM programs of the KDE-Desktop-Environment.
We will call Outlook as OL in this document.
The PIM programs are KAdddressbook and KOrganizer, which may be used embedded in the Kontact PIM management framework.
This HowTo describes version 1.9.5b of the migration tools.
The migration tools are the platform independent versions of KAdddressbook and KOrganizer: KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi.
If you want to migrate emails, you can do that via an IMAP server.
A Kolab server is an IMAP server.
A HowTo how to migrate emails and contact and calendar data to a Kolab server using the Toltec (TM) Outlook(TM) plugin is available as well.
You can found it on

APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data
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
****************************************
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.
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 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 ( 2004-09-15 ) 1.9.5b.
-Such that the files to download are
-kapi195b-exe.zip
-kopi195b-exe.zip
+kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
+Such that the files to download is
+kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
To download c)
Please choose there package/project/file:
general Files for KDE/Pim
Needed Windows Dlls
kdepimdll.zip
(Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=122438&release_id=256700 )
Choose there the file:
kdepimdll.zip
Now you have downloaded the files
-kapi195b-exe.zip
-kopi195b-exe.zip
+kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.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
-kapi195b-exe.zip
-kopi195b-exe.zip
+kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
kdepimdll.zip
Unzip these files.
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 Outlook...
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).
(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).
