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 http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ Please choose there package/project/file: general Files for KDE/Pim MigrationHowTo_OL2KDE MigrationHowTo_OL2Kolab.txt.zip Content: 1) How to start 2) How to import pst files in Outlook 3) Where to get the migration tools 4) How to install the migration tools 5) How to get the contact data out of Outlook200X 6) How to get the calendar data out of Outlook200X 7) How to import your contact data into Kontact 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact 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 |
