10This HowTo describes the process of migrating data
11( emails, contacts and calendar data )
12from Outlook 98/200X (TM) to a Kolab server.
13We will call Outlook as OL in this document.
14You will need an IMAP server for migrating emails.
15The Kolab server is an IMAP server.
16We will describe how the PIM data ( contact and calendar data )
17of OL can be migrated using the Toltec (TM) connector.
18Migration of the OL contact and calendar data to KDE
19(and using the Kolab server from KDE with the KDE Groupware client Kontact)
20can be done without using the Toltec Outlook connector.
21It can be done by using migration tools.

38****************************************
391) How to start
40****************************************
41
42For the migration we need the actual OL data, which Outlook stores in *.pst files.
43Then we need an installed version of OL to access these *.pst files.
44
45We assume, that we have an OL version installed that manages emails, contacts and calendar data.
46
47If you have no OL installed please install the Outlook version, you need to a import your *.pst files.
48If you have an OL installed with no email/contact/calendar data available, and you have some *.pst files please continue with: 2) How to import pst files in Outlook.
49If you have a running Outlook200X already with contact/calendar data available,
50please continue with: 3) Choose the migration strategie.
51
52****************************************
532) How to import pst files in Outlook
54****************************************
55
56To open a local *.pst file in Outlook2003, choose menu:
57File - Open - Outlook Data File ...
58Now the data included in this file is shown
59as folders of a newly added root folder in the Outlook folder view.
60This root folder is probably not accessable from
61the migration tools via OLE.
62To access data stored in one of the subfolders,
63copy this subfolder to a root folder,
64which can be accessed from the migration tools via OLE.
65(To know, which folder can be accessed, just perform 5.) or 6.) until
66you get the Oulook import dialog!)
67
68To copy it, right click on that subfolder and choose
69Copy "<subfoldername>"...
70in the popup menu.
71
72****************************************
733) Choose the migration strategie
74****************************************
75
76We assume, that we have an OL version installed that manages emails, contact and calendar data.
77
78The goal is it to get the emails, contacts and calendar data of OL on a Kolab server.
79
80After having the data on the Kolab server, we have two choices:
81
82(A) Accessing the server from KDE with the KDE-Kolab Client Kontact.
83(B) Accessing the server from Windows XP Outlook 2003 with Toltec Connector.
84
85Such that do have two strategies for the migration:
86
87 (i)
88 Use the Toltec Connector for migrating the contact
89 and calendar data.
90 Moving the email in OL to the Kolab server.
91
92 This can be used for (A) and (B).
93 Doing this for (A) might involve installing
94 the Toltec Connector on the source platform
95 syncing everything freshly on the Kolab Server and then
96 just continue using the KDE client on the new data.
97
98 (ii)
99 Use the migration tools for migrating the contact
100 and calendar data.
101 Moving the email in OL to the Kolab server.
102
103 Doing this for (A), there is no need to install the
104 Toltec Connector on the source platform.
105
106
107
108 *** Choosing (A) and (ii)
109
110If you choose (A) and (ii), please read
1116) How to copy the email in OL to the Kolab server.

120 (A) and (i)
121
122If you choose (B) and (i) or if you choose (A) and (i),

124Toltec Connector. After that, please read

177Note:
178There is no need to have the Toltec Connector installed to move/copy
179mails with Outlook to an IMAP server.
180
181We assume that there is already the IMAP account on the Kolab server
182configured in OL.
183You will see there a folder Inbox. (And maybe other folders).
184These folder may contain the subfolders "Calendar", "Tasks", "Journal" and Notes.
185These folders are used by the Kolab Groupware client,
