We are planning on moving a large amount of Exchange mailboxes to UNIX mbox format. My question is, does anyone know of any projects out there or of any tools that can assist in this conversion? Thanks Josh

Maildir is a more flexible mailbox format IMHO. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Just connect an imap client to both servers and copy from one folder to another. I don't know if exchange has the concept of an imap administrator so the tools for cyrus administration can do it all with one password of if you'd have to make everyone do their own. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

One thing to point out... some ways end with TNEF attachements... I would go to maildir anyway. Regards, David

It has an app that will atlease allow you to pull in the mail to it's server and you still keep a certain amount of collaboration. -- Best regards, Chris Registerd Linux user number 448639
