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 PIM programs migrating to are KAdddressbook and KOrganizer, which may be used embedded in the Kontact PIM management framework.
+This HowTo describes version 1.9.20 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.

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.
+Pi stands for platform-independend - platform-independend because the same program is available for different platforms, like Windows, Linux desktop and for embedded devices like the 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
+a) KAdddressbook/Pi executeable + 3dlls + 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
+c) The Qt3 library qt-mt334.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll and the MSVC library mfc71u.dll

****************************************
4) How to install the migration tools
****************************************
You have downloaded the files
-kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
-kdepimdll.zip
+kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.exe.zip
+kdepim334dll.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
+microkabc_file.dll
+microkabc_qtopia.dll
msvcr71.dll
mfc71u.dll
-qt-mt331.dll
+qt-mt334.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).
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).
(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.
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.
1) Addresses
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".
2) Telephone Numbers
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.
3) Additional fields
For some contact fields in Outlook there is no corresponding field in KAddressbook.
The following contact fields are imported to KAddressbook and the field name and content is
prepended the notes information of the contact item in the notes field.
The following fields of Outlook are mapped to the notes field:
Language, Hobby, Homepage, Billing information, Customer ID, User1, User2, User3, User4
Example:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Additonal fields created
by KA/Pi Outlook import:
Language: Swedish
Hobby: Golf,fishing
End additonal fields created
by KA/Pi Outlook import!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<Below that are your notes of this contact>
*************************************************************
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.

Q: I can not install KO/Pi on the SD card (ext2 formated), it can be installed only in the internal memory. What can I do ? ************************************************************************* Q: For which platform KO/Pi is available? A: KO/Pi is the platform-independend version of KOrganizer and it includes a replacement for the KDE libraries called microkde. It can be compiled to any platform, where Qt is available. The source code compiles without modifications on Windows, -Linux Desktop and Sharp Zaurus PDA. Precompiled versions are available -on www.pi-sync.net for Windows and Sharp Zaurus PDA. -Latest versions and the source code cvs can be found at: +Linux Desktop and Sharp Zaurus PDA. +Precompiled versions and the source code cvs can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ ************************************************************************* Q: What files/data can KO/Pi import or export? A: KO/Pi saves its data in iCalandar format (*.ics) You can import .ics (used by KDE KOrganizer/Mozillas/Appli iCal) or .vcs files. You can import xml based PIMs (Opie, old Sharp and old TKC). You can sync with the newer Sharp DTM PIMs directly. (Note: If you have many contacts in KO/Pi which are not in DTM, the very first sync may take some time) You can sync with any local .ics file or remote with a .ics file via ssh. KO/Pi on Windows can import calendar data from Outlook directly via OLE. Recurring events with exceptions and attendee lists of meetings are imported properly. ************************************************************************* Q: How can I sync via ssh? A: You must have installed a ssh client on the machine KO/Pi is running. You must have a ssh server running on the remote machine. You must have configured your access to the server such that you can log in from console on the server without a password. For that reason you have to put some keys on the servers home dir. Please read docu of ssh how to do that. There is a detailed ssh howto available at http://oek.fbl.fh-wiesbaden.de/zaurus/ ************************************************************************* Q: How can I get my data from Outlook? A: Well you can sync Outlook with Sharp-DTM Pims and then sync KO/Pi with Sharp-DTM. Voila - you have your Outlook data in KO/Pi. On Windows, KO/Pi can import calendar data from Outlook directly via OLE. Recurring events with exceptions and attendee lists of meetings are imported properly. ************************************************************************* Q: I sync with Outlook via the Sharp DTM. But, now, whenever I get an alarm I get notified by both KO/Pi and the Sharp Calendar app. How could I disable Sharp Calendar app? A: You have to rename datebook (the Sharp Calendar app) such that it cannot be automatically started by the system alarm daemon. If you rename it and you do not delete it, you can do revert your changes easily. For example, rename /home/QtPalmtop/bin/datebook to /home/QtPalmtop/bin/datebookwech Then you can sync KO/Pi with the database and then the database with outlook without problems. An event( with alarm ) created on outlook make KO/Pi alarm goes off, but there will be no datebook alarm :-) ************************************************************************* Q: Why does not KO/Pi import several .isc files at once? A: Because it is not yet implemented. ************************************************************************* Q: Why does not KO/Pi sync directly with Outlook? A: On Windows, KO/Pi can import calendar data from Outlook directly via OLE. Recurring events with exceptions and attendee lists of meetings are imported properly. It would be difficult to implememt an actual syncing. This will be implemented later. ************************************************************************* Q: Why does KO/Pi start up on restarts on the Zaurus? A: Fastload causes KO/Pi to startup when Qtopia starts. ************************************************************************* Q: Do I have to deinstall the KO/Pi alarm applet, when I update KO/Pi? A: No, the KO/Pi alarm applet runs completely independend of KO/Pi. That means, it does not need KO/Pi or libraries of KO/Pi for being executed. But the applet itself is not very useful without KO/Pi. It notifies KO/Pi to start via system calls. It needs KO/Pi to get the next alarm from the system alarm daemon. Such that the KO/Pi alarm alone may be used only as a timer application. Files of KO/Pi are ( with /home/QtPalmtop as base dir): bin/kopi bin/db2file apps/Pim/korganizer.desktop pics/kdepim/korganizer/* lib/libmicro* ************************************************************************* Q: I have problems updating KO/Pi. Any hints? A: When deinstalling KO/Pi alarm applet, Qtopia reboots. Please do not deinstall KO/Pi alarm applet and KO/Pi together. It may be that because of the reboot KO/Pi itself is not deinstalled properly. ************************************************************************* Q: I installed the qtopiaKABC plugin, but I can't access the addressbook when adding attendees. A: +NOTE: KO/Pi versions > 1.9.0 do not support addressbook plugins any more. +The addressbook data is accessed via KA/Pi only. + The qtopiaKABC plug-in is for old non DTM Qtopia Pims only. This plug-in works with xml based addressbooks. There is no solution currently for the DTM addressbook. On a newer Sharp Rom (using DTM), you can install Opie(for Sharp Rom) libs+adressbook and the opieKABC plug-in. That works with KO/Pi. -NOTE: Versions > 1.9.0 does not support alarm plugins any more. -The addressbook data is accessed via KA/Pi only. ************************************************************************* Q: Why do I have two pim tabs? A: The original tab has the 'PIM' tab and kopi is installed in the 'Pim' tab. The difference in capitalization keeps them separate. That is no packaging bug. This is a feature. -The author of KO/pi has a Tab 'Pim'. -************************************************************************* -Q: -When installing kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk (or newer version) -I get a "This application depends on other programs". -What programs I am missing? -A: -You probably do not have to care about that. -kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2 will come with some -resource plugins, which needs additional libraries. -(E.g. libopie1, if you want to use the -opie resource connector in KA/Pi). -If you do not have this libraries installed, -you simply cannot use the resource. -To make it clear: -If the libraries are missing, the applications -using kmicrokdelibs will start, -because the resources are plugins. -If you get an error, simply install the other packages and try again. -If the install problem persists rebooting may be helpful. +The author of KO/Pi has a Tab 'Pim'. + ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* Q: How do I change the timezone? All my appointments do show 6 hours ahead. A: The default timezone in KO/Pi is CET. CET is (GMT +01:00) or (UTC +01:00), i.e GMT=UTC . To adjust the time of your appointments, you have to change the timezone and reload your calendar without closing the application and without saving the data. "Without saving the data" is very important. Note that KO/Pi has build in auto saving. If auto saving is performed after changing the timezone and before reloading your calendar no times will be changed. Example: Selected timezone in KO/Pi is (+01:00 Oslo). You have an appointment shown at 8:00. But it should be at 14:00. Your timezone is -05:00 US/Eastern. You have to do: Select timezone +07:00 Asia/Bangok in config dialog. Close dialog with ok button. Choose menu: File-Load Calendar Backup. Choose file: (your home path)/Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics (on Windows: file: (your home path)/korganizer/mycalendar.ics). Load file. Now your appointment is at 14:00. Select timezone -05:00 US/Eastern in config dialog. Close KO/Pi (file is saved when closing and changes are not yet saved). Restart KO/Pi. Your timezone is -05:00 US/Eastern. Your appointment is at 14:00. Everything is ok. ************************************************************************* Q: I want to send appointments via Infrared (IR) to a mobile device. What format I have to choose? A: You can send data as vcs (vCalendar) or as ics (iCalendar) files. With and without timezone settings( Local time ). Usually small mobile devices like mobile phones do not know anything about timezones. Choosing vcs and Local time should work with most mobile phones. Most mobile devices should be able to recieve vcs files. If it is a smartphone or pda, the device may be able to handle timezones. Try vcs and with timezones. If you send the data to a laptop it depends on the application. If you have a windows laptop and want to get data into an installed KO/Pi on windows, you should choose ics and with timezone. Simply try it out, what data the device does understand. ************************************************************************* Q: Can I receive contacts via infrared (IR) directly with KO/Pi? A: Yes, KO/Pi can receice data via IR when it is running! You have to do: - disable FastLoad for the original calendar+todo application and close it - start KO/Pi - enable IR beam/receive Note: When FastLoad is enabled for KO/Pi, KO/Pi is always running and you do not need to "start" KO/Pi. ************************************************************************* Q: I want to send a friend all the public holidays in my calendar. Can I do that? A: Yes. Choose search dialog. -Serach there after the events you want to send. +Search there for the events you want to send. Make sure, you get all wanted events and maybe some more. Maybe sort the items and select all items you want to send. With a 'right' mouse click (hold pen down for a while and then relase) you get a popup menu. Choose there 'Save selected to file'. Now all selected entries are saved. Send the file to your friend, he can import them in his calendar now. ************************************************************************* Q: I want to get another alarm sound than the default. What I have to change? A: The default alarm sound is a wav file: It is (QPEDIR)/pics/korganizer/koalarm.wav. (Usually QPEDIR=/home/QtPalmtop). (On the desktop, the path is: (installdir)/kdepim/korganizer/koalarm.wav) Just replace this file by another one und do a 'simulate alarm' to ckeck, if it works. ('Simulate alarm' not available on the desktop, because it is in the alarm applet) Wav files can have different sampling data. (e.g. 16/8bit, stereo/mono, 22kHz/11kHz/...) Note: It seems to be that there are problems with particular combination of these settings. If one file is not replayed properly, just try another file/ another sampling data. ************************************************************************* Q: Is there a solution to get an alarm on Windows? A: Yes, but KO/Pi has to be running to notify you about an alarm. Choose menu: Action - Configure. -There the last TAB alarm. +There the TAB alarm. Check "Use internal alarm notification" to get the alarm on Windows and Linux desktop. You can configure the behaviour of the alarm there. ************************************************************************* Q: I have Zaurus 5600 and I want to get wav alarm instead of the buzzer. Is that possible? A: Yes. The default alarm kind is determined from the screen resolution. For all 320x240 displays the buzzer alarm is the default. To change this, set in the alarm applet popup menu Play beeps- Replay-*.wav-file Note: If a 5500 user will choose this, he will get no alarm sound from the speaker. He will get only the wav sound from the headphone connector. ************************************************************************* Q: In the alarm applet settings "auto suspend" seems not to work. Am I doing something wrong? A: Probably! The lenght of an alarm is determined from settings in Play beeps and the interval of each beep. E.g. Play beeps = 10 and interval = 10 means, the alarm has a duration of 100 secs. The "auto suspend" can only work, if the system is not suspended itself when playing back the alarm. E.g. if you have set your system suspend time to 1 min (= 60 sec) the system is suspended during playback of alarm and there is no new "suspend alarm notification" stored in the system. Solution: Make sure your alarm duration is less then your system suspend time. ************************************************************************* Q: I can not install KO/Pi on the SD card (ext2 formated), it can be installed only in the internal memory. What can I do ? A: KO/Pi and friends are now installable on SD-Card! It is recommended to install all libs and apps on the SD card or all in the internal storage. There may be problems, if this is mixed. If you get an error when installing, simply install the other packages and try again.
