The Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration Implementation Project OverviewThis Project includes the rollout of Microsoft Exchange, Outlook and Office 2007 to all University Staff and Students.
The Project also includes the rollout of Exchange to all Macintosh users as well as an Outlook Web Access (OWA )
mailbox for all PhDs and Masters Students.
The Exchange RolloutIs a major part in the Enterprise Messaging& Collaboration Project which has been running
from August 2009 through to the October 2011. The project scope includes the rolling out of: Microsoft Outlook2007/2010 to UTAS staff and some student computers, and the configuration of the Outlook to connect to the UTAS
Microsoft Exchange Server system. This document is designed to aid the reader in the configuration and migration of
emails into the new system.
The benefits of having an Exchange email are as follows:
Use of HSM Hierarchical Storage management will provide and infinite mailbox size. Data management with automatic archiving function which is easily retrievable attachments Even after archiving the message will remain visible in your mailbox with retrieval as simple as a click on the
archive icon on the email.
Enhanced email security, anti-virus and anti-spam technologies Increased functionality and productivity through:
o Improved calendaring,o Document sharing and collaboration capabilitieso Sharing of diarieso Email distribution lists, Global Address List (GAL)o Improved email reliability
More information on this project can be viewed at http://www.it.utas.edu.au/project-office/exchange

Exchange User GlossaryThere are a few things that are helpful to be clarified before the reader continues:
Webmail There are currently two systems at UTAS that are commonly referred to as Webmail thiscauses a bit of confusion.
o Sun This is the basic webmail interface given to all UTAS students when they start at UTAS, it is alsoused by some staff members. It is so called Sun because it was created by a company called SunMicrosystems. The login page can be found at this linkHERE
o OWA (Outlook Web Access) This is the webmail system attached to a Microsoft Exchange Server.This webmail system is more featured then the Sun system and is only available for those users that
are setup on the UTAS Exchange system. The login page can be found at this linkHERE
Email Client Basically a computer program that collects email from a server and brings it to the user. Theseprograms can do this in 2 main ways;
o Collect (download) emails, removing them from a mail server and store them on the PC (POP).o Synchronise emails with a server and store a copy for offline use (Exchange, IMAP).
Email Clients There are many different email client programs available, each with their own features, toolsand method of use. For the most part they are all quite similar, some mentioned in this document are:
o Outlook - Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010, this product is probably the most widely used of theemail clients around today; it is specifically designed to connect to Microsofts Exchanger Server
system, but can also handle POP, IMAP and HTTP connections. In some areas of UTAS it was
configured for POP or IMAP collection of UTAS email. This document outlines the process to convert
this setup to connect to the UTAS Microsoft Exchange Server. It is now the main email client used at
UTAS. It is fully featured and installed on majority of UTAS computers.
o Outlook Express A free simple email client produced by Microsoft and included in every copy ofWindows XP. This email program can only handle POP, IMAP and HTTP connections. While it has a
similar name to Outlook it is a completely different program. This was used by a very small numberof computers at UTAS, and is since, no longer used. It does feature some of the most comprehensive
import tools of any of the other email clients and is used as a middle program in some of the
migration processes.
o Eudora Owned by a company called Qualcomm, which stopped being developed and supported byits manufacturer in 2006. This basic email client was previously used by approximately 70% of UTAS
staff before the Exchange Project, which took place between 2009 and 2011.
o Lotus Notes Developed and owned by IBM, this product was in use at UTAS for only selectdepartments (approx. 10% of UTAS staff) that required additional functionality that Eudora could not
provide. It worked at UTAS in a similar way that the current Exchange system does, it allowed for
email and database synchronisation. Lotus Notes and its Domino Server were replaced by theExchange Project.
o Thunderbird An open source program from the Mozilla family of products. This basic email clientoffers only POP and IMAP connections. It was used in some select UTAS departments favoured by
some of the non-ITR based IT staff for some schools and faculties.
o SeaMonkey Another open source program from the Mozilla family of products, this program isbasically a combination of two Mozilla products; Firefox and Thunderbird.
o Entourage A Microsoft email client for Macintosh computers that is the equivalent to MicrosoftOutlook.
o Mail, iCal, Address Book The bundled software that comes preinstalled on any Macintosh PC. Allthree of these separate programs allow for exchange connections and were used by some staff at
UTAS.

Setup
Exchange Mailbox Creation
Before importation of users mail can take place, a users exchange mailbox must first be setup, and forwards set in
place from within their sun mail system (aka: student webmail). This process has been automated by Systems
Microsoft and is able to be executed by the ITR service desk.
Once a request has been received by the service desk via a LANDesk ticket, they will schedule the users mailbox to
be created. All mailbox requests occur overnight, so planning an exchange migration is important.
NOTE:As soon as a users mailbox is created a few things happen that should be noted:
All mail sent to that user from other users who are on exchange will go to the users new exchange mailbox,but they will not be able to access them until the migration is complete. For this reason, completing the
process as soon as possible after the mailbox creation is important. i.e.: Staff may not receive emails from
most supervisors or other colleges.
All mail sent to that user from all other users, including external addresses will continue to go to the currentemail system. i.e.: the way they currently check their mail.
Setting the forward in Sun
Once the users mailbox has been created, the users mail now needs to be forwarded to their exchange mailbox.
This is done from within the users Sun webmail system.
Found at:https://webmail.utas.edu.au
Putting in the users username in the field and pressing Continue will take you to the Sun login page
Note: If the user has the forward already in place, putting in the username will take you to the OWA login page, if
required; the this directlogin link link will take you to the Sun login page
Ask the user to login with his/her credentials. It is at this point why the user is required to be present.

Once logged in, click on Options and then Settings
Under Mail Forwarding tick bothoptions for Enable Forwarding and Do no leave copy on server
Enter users username followed by @utas.ad.internal and click add
This forward ensures that all external mail now is forwarded to the users exchange mailbox. Make sure to click the
Save button (located on the right of the window) after adding the address.
At this point the user is now successfully forwarded to the new exchange system. They will now receive all emails to
their exchange mailbox which can be accessed via the OWA (exchange) webmail page, or by configuring Outlook to
access their mailbox. However if the user has emails that need to be imported/moved from another location intotheir new exchange mailbox then the following chapters will give instructions on how to perform these tasks.

Setting up Outlook client to connect to Exchange
When opening Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 for the first time on a recently imaged UTAS machine that is correctly
connected to the UTAS domain, the Outlook client should automatically self-configure itself based on the user that is
currently logged in.
If the user has been using Outlook as their primary email client before now, then you will need to remove the profile
to start fresh. This can be done by going to the computers control panel and choosing Mail.
Click on the Show Profiles Button and select any profiles listed and then click the Remove button.
Click OK to save changes and then open Outlook for a fresh start.

Once the window appears and self-configures, its only a matter of clicking Next and Finish to complete the
process.
If the machine is not a part of the UTAS domain, or is a non-standard machine, Outlook can still be configured to
connect to the users exchange mailbox with all features, however the user will be required to authenticate every
time Outlook is opened.
To configure Outlook manually, tick the Manually configure server settings or additional server types option when
the Add New E-Mail Account window appears.
Select Microsoft Exchange

Set the Microsoft Exchange Server to be: owa.utas.edu.au, type in the users name if not already in the field and
click on the Check Name button to resolve the server and user.
If the user exists and it resolves correctly, then the data in the text fields will underline.
Click Next and Finish
Confirm that the user is connected to exchange by identifying that the word Mailbox appears at the top of the
email folder structures

Importing
Importing Email from other email clients or sources
There are several methods to import in existing user data into outlook from other mail clients or sources. Commonly
only emails and addresses are imported over; there is no need to import settings across. Emails can either be
imported via the email client (or several), or pushed onto the users exchange mailbox via an IMAP connection.
From Sun Email to Exchange or OWA
This method is the most likely to occur throughout UTAS, as most students and a lot of staff are using this as their
main email system. Unfortunately there is no method for directly transferring all emails from the Sun webmail
system directly into the OWA webmail system. The transfer must be completed by an email client, whether the user
wishes to continue to use the client as their primary method to check their mail or not, as once this is completed,
OWA (exchange webmail) can be used exclusively.
Method Transferring the email
The following instructions are given with the assumption that the above steps are performed, i.e.; Exchange
Mailbox creation, Setting the forward in Sun, andSetting up Outlook 2007 client to connect to Exchange
These instructions are to connect via IMAP connection to the Sun webmail server and download all messages so that
they can be moved across to the users exchange mailbox.
Open the Tools menu and choose Account Settings
Under the E-mail tab, click the New button

As this account is only going to be here for a short time and only used for the transfer of messages, enter the
following settings:
Your Name: [Not important, put anything]
E-mail Address:*Not important, put anything must contain @+
Account Type: IMAP
Incoming mail server: postoffice.utas.edu.au
Outgoing mail server: [Not important, put anything]
Username:*Users username+
Password:*Users password+
Before clicking Next, the incoming mail server must be set to SSL encryption. Click the More Settings button,
choose the Advanced tab, and change the drop down for Incoming server (IMAP) from None to SSL and click OK

Click Next, then Finish. You should now see the new entry in the E-mail accounts section with the name of the new
account by whatever you put in the email address field.
Upon closing the Accounts window, you should now see the new account added below the users exchange mailbox.

Next step is to click on the Send/Receive button to get Outlook to contact the Sun webmail server.
You should then see a security warning asking to accept the security certificate that cannot be verified, click Yes
At this point Outlook will contact the webserver and download the folder structure and the headers for the
messages. While it will look like it is complete, it will actually NOT have all the messages. If you attempt to copy all
emails across from this point, you will not get all of them properly.
Do make Outlook forcefully download all messages and attachments to the computer, go to the Tools menu,
Send/Receive, move the mouse across without clicking and continue to Send/Receive Settings and finally click on
Define Send/Receive Groups (alternately to sifting through this long menu, you can also just press CTRLALTS

Enabling this option ensures that all attachments and full emails are downloaded.
Next, you will need to click on the Send/Receive button again to initiate the download of all email.
This time the Outlook Send/Receive Progress box will take substantially longer, based on how many emails the user
has.
Once the emails have successfully downloaded, you can now proceed to copy/move all emails from the IMAP Sun
account up to the appropriate exchange mailbox folder, i.e.; inbox contents to inbox.
Do to this, simply select all emails in the folder and drag them up to the new location. Once an email has been
copied over, it will be marked by a line-through the email entry.
Continue until all emails are moved/copied across.
Once satisfied that all emails have been copied and now exist in the users exchange mailbox, the account now
needs to be deleted.
Open the Tools menu and choose Account Settings

Select the IMAP connection entry and click Remove, then Close
Method - Importing the address book
Some users of the Sun webmail system may have created an address book. Since exchange users will have access to
the GAL (Global Address List), there is little need to import their contacts into Outlook for UTAS staff and students. If
however they have external addresses that they want imported then this can be done by exporting the users
address book from within the users Sun webmail systemthen importing it into Outlooks Contacts list.
Ask the user to login to the Sun webmail system, found at:https://webmail.utas.edu.au
Putting in the users username in the field and pressing Continue will take you to the Sun login page
Note: If the user has the forward already in place, putting in the username will take you to the OWA login page, if
required; the this directlogin link link will take you to the Sun login page

Ask the user to login with his/her credentials. It is at this point why the user is required to be present.
Click on the Address Book tab at the top, and then click on Import/Export
This will bring up a new window, the bottom half is for exporting. Change the dropdown list to Microsoft Outlook
CSV and then click on the Export button, this will ask where to save the exported file. It will most likely be called
iabcsvus.csv. Save it to the desktop or another easy location.
You can now close the Sun webmail webpage.
Open Outlook and go to the Contacts section.
Now go to the File menu and choose Import and Export, then select Import from another program or file and click
Next

The file iabcvsus.cvs can now be deleted if desired.
Note: By default when writing an email or anything that requires sending something to someone, Outlook, by default
will use the GAL (Global Address List) for selecting addresses/people. Therefore, if the user wants to send to someone
in their Contacts list, they will need to select it from the dropdown list when selecting names in order to see and select
them.

From Outlook in POP mode to Exchange
This is one of the better scenarios for importing as the user is already accustom to using Outlook. As far as changes
go, they are only getting upgrades in the ability to connect to other users on the exchange server for special access
like calendar and mailbox sharing and also have access to the global address list (GAL).
Since the original (POP) profile was removed before the exchange mailbox was setup, only the users exchange
mailbox will be showing up. We will need to find and open the old .PST data file.
The basic premise here is to have both or all locations open and to move the emails (within their current folder
structure), calendar events, contacts, tasks and notes over to the exchange mailbox so that it looks identical to what
the user had previously.
Method
First open the old .PST file by clicking File, mouse over Open and click on Outlook Data File
A window titled Open Outlook Data File will open and should also be open at the default .PST location, which is
normally: c:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
However expect to find that some users may have their PST files located elsewhere such as the D: drive or My
Documents folder, even on N Drive or P Drive.
Once open the files will open below the exchange mailbox.

24/80
Page 24 of 80
Note: The primary and default email location will always be at the top.
Tip: An easy way to tell where the content is in the file is to check the folder size; this can be done by right-clicking on
the top of any location and choosing the Properties for Personal Folderand then clicking the Folder Size Button.
Checking back here periodically throughout the transfer process ensures that all data has in fact been moved and
shows where any may be hiding or missed.
Enabling the Folder List view from the bottom of Outlook can also be very handy, as it shows all objects within the
locations, including calendar, contacts, etc
Start at the top of the open PST file, selecting all content from each of the sections and drag them up to the same
location in the users exchange mailbox.
When selecting the Calendar, Notes, Contacts and Tasks, it also helps to go up to the View Menu and change the
Current View to a list form.
A lot of users use a folder structure within their Inbox to organise their emails, this can make it easy to transfer the
bulk of the emails by dragging the user-made folders up to the new inbox, not forgetting to get the old Inboxs
contents as well.
Note: Dragging full folders can ONLY be done with user created folders, dont try and drag up the old Inbox or Sent
Items folder up to the new mailbox
Note: There is a glitch within Outlook 2007 where if you select the entire contents of some folders, and you drag them
all up to the new folder location, Outlook will tell you that it cant copy them and stop the operation. This can be
worked around by selecting ALL emails except the top few, moving them then coming back for the top ones.
Use the keyboard shortcut of selecting an email a few down, then holding SHIFT key, press the END key (or HOME if
selecting upwards), then drag them over.

Tip: Some users have their email folders scattered throughout the top level of the file; this can make it difficult for
them to find the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders. This is a good time (with their permission) to move all email
folders INTO the new Inbox. Doing this will make it collapsible and easier to find the important folders.
Once all emails, contacts, calendar events, tasks & notes from all files that the user used have been moved across
(including the archive.pst file if they have one), you can now close the old file by right-clicking on it and choosing
Close Personal Folders
Because the UTAS Exchange server has CommVault implemented, all emails can be moved into the mailbox and
older emails will be archived to save space. There is no need for the user to have an archive file or to ever worry
about archiving their emails.
From Outlook Express to Exchange
Although this is not a commonly used mail client, it is important to note that Outlook Express has more import of
mail and messages features then Outlook does, and Outlook can import directly from Outlook Express. So in a lot of
cases Outlook Express can be used as a medium to migrate email and addresses, from programs like Eudora,
Netscape mail, and in some cases other conversion tools from a Thunderbird client.
Unfortunately when Microsoft made the new counterpart for Outlook Express, called Windows Live Mail they

Method
Tip: Outlook Express can be run easily from the start menu by typing in msimn and clicking OK.
To import email and addresses from Outlook Express to Outlook, open Outlook and choose Import and Export from
the File menu, then choose Import Internet Mailand Addresses from the Import and Export Wizard and click

From the next page, select Outlook Express 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, or Windows Mail and tick the boxes of the data you wish to
import; Mail or Address Book, or both.
The import tool will now automatically find the appropriate .dbx files from Outlook Express and dump them in to the
default Inbox and Contacts list.
Be sure that the users exchange mailbox is already setup before performing this task, or you may import the emails
and addresses into a .pst Outlook file, in which case you will need to go through the process discussed in the
previous chapter From Outlook in POP mode to Exchange
Tip: The Outlook Express address book can also be exported as a .cvs file which can be imported directly from Outlook
also.

From Eudora to Exchange
Eudora used to be one of the main email clients here at UTAS until the Exchange project started in 2009.
It is important to note and to also note to the user (especially those unfamiliar with Outlook) that once the migration
is complete, unlike Eudora, Outlook will store attachments within the emails, not in a separate folder like Eudora
does. As most Eudora users are very attached to finding their attachments in a separate folder that normally has a
shortcut on the desktop.
All imported emails will not have their attachments put back into the emails; they stay in the old attachment folder,
it is important to keep this folder for the user.
Eudora can be imported easily via one of two methods;
Method 1
The first and by far easiest is to import is directly from Outlook itself.
To import email and addresses from Eudora to Outlook, open Outlook and choose Import and Export from the File
menu, then choose Import Internet Mai land Addresses from the Import and Export Wizard and click Next, sameas above from Outlook Express.
However, this time, select Eudora (Pro and Light) 2.x, 3.x, 4.x and click Next.

The next window will ask about creating duplicates, the default option is Allow duplicates to be created which is
fine because the emails should be imported into an empty Inbox.
At the next point, one of two things will happen, the error: The mail folder could not be opened. If another
application is using the file, please close it and try again. And then the Import Summary with 0 of0 messages
imported.
-
7/30/2019 Setting Up and Importing UTAS Email Into Exchange Mailboxes
29/80
Page 29 of 80
This happens because Eudora is still installed or has been installed previously in some cases. This method of
importing email and addresses works best on machines that have been freshly imaged, and have never had Eudora
installed on them.
The other result is that a window will pop up asking to browse to the Eudora file location. Eudora is set to save its
database files in the default location of:
c:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Qualcomm\Eudora
However, most installs were found to have the file location either on the D: drive of the machines partition or on
the N: or P: drive.
After selecting the correct location, Outlook will import the emails and addresses.
Method 2
The second method to import from Eudora to Outlook is through Outlook Express.
This is basically importing once from Eudora to Outlook Express, and then from Outlook Express to Outlook. Since I
covered the Outlook Express to Outlook import in a previous chapter, I will only mention the Eudora to Outlook
Express portion.
Open Outlook Express by typing msimn into the run command and click OK.

address book could not be found in the default application directory. Would you like to manually select the address
book file?
Browse to the contacts.txt, normally found in:
c:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Qualcomm\Eudora\Nickname\contacts.txt
Once both email messages and address book contacts have been migrated into Outlook Express, please follow the
above directions to import from Outlook Express to Outlook.

Notes on Importing from Eudora to Exchange
Importing emails by either of these methods will cause a few irregularities in folder structure which will need to be
corrected. The main one being that in Eudora, the copies of outgoing mail is saved in a folder called Out and in
Outlook, because of this, during the import process, a folder called Out will be made and included in the current
folder structure. This is not to be confused with Outbox which is the temporary folder that is used to hold emails
that are ready to be sent from Outlook.
What you will need to do is move all the contents of the Out folder to the Sent Items folder and then delete the
Out folder. This may also be done with the created Junk and the Junk E-mail folder. Created folder will always
look plain, and important Outlook folders always look a bit more detailed.
Another thing to note is that there is a phenomenon that causes anywhere between none and all of the emails to
lose some formatting and import with their code in the message, as per this screenshot below.
As you can see the original image is still in the email, but there is extra formatting present. Unfortunately there is not
much that can be done about this bug, as it happens during both importation methods described above.
The user can still forward, reply etc. with the email, and the message is still within the text, but it will only need
some cleaning up. Assure the user that this is only for older emails that were imported and will not happen for any
emails received from this point inwards.

From Thunderbird/SeaMonkey to Exchange
Thunderbird and SeaMonkey are both email clients from the Mozilla family, and both are not directly compatible
with importing email to any Microsoft products (Outlook, Outlook Express). However they do easily import mail
from Microsoft Products.
Searching online provides many free tools in exporting the standard .mbox format that is used for storing Mozilla
based emails into the raw form of single .eml files per email, and creating an identical Windows folder structure ofthe original email structure from within Thunderbird/SeaMonkey. Once these .eml files are extracted, they can
literally be dragged into Outlook Express directly, and then imported in the fashion mentioned above.
Some of the tools include: mbx2eml, IMAPSize and MailNavigator
Other methods of importation include using Eudora as a middle client and importing the email as Netscape email via
the prefs.js file.
These methods normally require additional software to be installed on the machine and can be very messy as far as
folder structure goes and can also have a high corruption rate.
Fortunately, the UTAS exchange server allows IMAP connections, which allows any email client that is IMAP capable
to be able to connect to a users exchange mailbox and allow the pushing of emailsdirectly to the users mailbox
with the least amount of corruption and installation of software.
Method
Both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey have identical means to perform this connection to the UTAS Exchange server via
IMAP, the only difference is where the account settings are
In Thunderbird: Tools Menu Account Settings
In SeaMonkey: Edit MenuMail & Newsgroups Account Settings

This page shows the normal POP account setup that you may encounter. It is basically a POP connection to the Sun
webmail system.
From this page, you will need to add the IMAP connection to the Exchange server and the users mailbox.
Choose Account Actions, then Add Mail Accountor just Add Account on older versions
Depending on the version of Thunderbird or SeaMonkey different configuration pages will appear.
Newer versions of Thunderbird have a new configuration wizard that scans for mail servers and settings based on
the email address.
Enter the users name and email address and click Continue, at this stage leave the Password field blank.
The configuration wizard should detect the following settings.

It will also give a warning on the outgoing mail server not having encryption or authentication. Tick the

Enter users name and email address
Choose IMAP and enter the incoming server as owa.utas.edu.au

Click OK to return to the main window, and the third entry in the tree structure should now be visible.
Thunderbird & SeaMonkey
Click on the Get Mail or Get Megs button to test the connection to the server, if all is set correctly, it should
prompt for the users password.
SeaMonkey will more than likely not work on the first attempt, when creating an IMAP account within its
configuration wizard, as it does not allow SSL security to be selected. For this reason, you must go back into the
SeaMonkey account settings and look under Server Settings and change it to SSL
Other settings may need to be tweaked if the system didnt enter them properly or made an assumption on
username and server.
The correct settings are:
Server: owa.utas.edu.au
Username: *users username+
Auto config may try and insert the server as: imap.utas.edu.au or utas.edu.au or mail.utas.edu.au, these are all
wrong.
Note: the server:postoffice.utas.edu.au is the connection to the Sun webmail system; owa.utas.edu.au is the
connection to the exchange webmail server (OWA)
When all settings are correct, the server will ask for the password, take note of the line of text it is presenting and
asking the password for, it should be: [email protected]

If successful, then it will start downloading the headers of the inbox messages (ONLY the inbox)
Special note for existing exchange accounts
If this method is being used to import mail to an existing exchange mailbox, only the Inbox and its mail will be visible
at this stage. In order to gain access to the other created folders within the users exchange mailbox, these extra
folders must be subscribed to.
Right-click on the Exchange accounts header in the folder tree and choose Subscribe
Tick any/all of the folders you wish to gain access too. Subfolders will need to be expanded and ticked individually.
-
7/30/2019 Setting Up and Importing UTAS Email Into Exchange Mailboxes
40/80
Page 40 of 80
After clicking OK the subscribed folders will now start to populate and download (Get Mail/Msgs may need to be
clicked again). Each subfolder may also need to be clicked at least once to start the download of the existing
messages (especially SeaMonkey). Depending on connection and volume of messages, this may take a little time.
SeaMonkey does not handle large folders and structures very well, and in some cases the client may need to be
restarted a few times in order for it to gain access to all folders and download all email.
Continued from Method
Once appropriate folders are now visible, user created folders can now be re-created/dragged in/to the Exchange
mailbox.
As above in previous methods mentioned above, you cannot drag/copy/move the base level folders (Inbox, Sent
Items, Trash), but you can instead copy their contents to the new location.
Thunderbird (especially newer versions) can handle larger file structure and email quantities being transferred via
IMAP much better then SeaMonkey can. If SeaMonkey freezes or will not copy emails, then restricting the number of
emails being transferred at a time can help. Copying more than 1000 emails from folder in POP to one in Exchange
via IMAP at any one time can cause issues.
Be prepared to close SeaMonkey/Thunderbird via task manager if this becomes a problem.
Also, moving files instead of copying them can also help to simplify things when transferring large amounts of emails,
especially if it is going to be left unattended to transfer.

Both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, for some reason, do not actually delete the emails from their .mbox files, instead
they are marked as deleted and no longer show in the client program, for this reason, the original .mbox files will still
continue to take up a large amount of space on the hard drive. These files can be archived if needed, but once the
user can confirm that all files are now in fact over they are no longer needed.
Once all emails are moved/copied across to the users Exchange mailbox, Outlook can now be opened and
configured as previously discussed above.
Opening and using Outlook can be used to help create folders and check that emails have been moved over.

Entourage in POP mode to Exchange
Some users may have been already using Entourage as their main client, but in POP or IMAP mode instead of
Exchange. In the same way as described in Importing from Outlook in POP mode to Exchange.
This is one of the better scenarios for importing as the user is already used to using Entourage. As far as changes go,
they are only getting upgrades in the ability to connect to other users on the exchange server for special access like
calendar and mailbox sharing and also have access to the global address list (GAL).
Entourage however is a little different in the way that it is able to import mail, contacts and calendar events.
Exporting the current user identity
Firstly, the way to tell that a user is in POP mode on Entourage is their email is retrieving into the Inbox under the
On My Computer section.
Firstly we need to export the entirety of the users Entourage identity (called Profiles for Outlook) into a single file.
This file we are going to create contains; email, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks.
Open the File menu and select Export

Ensure that the file is going to be exported to the desktop, leave the file name as it is and click Save.
The entire user identity will now export to the file on the desktop into an Entourage Archive file. The time taken will
be relative to the amount of data.
If you wish you can confirm that the file is on the desktop and right-click (or Control-click) and select Get Info on
the file and see that its size is expected to the amount of data that the user has. I.E, hardly any content may be under
10MB, very large user identities may be a few GB in size.
Note: The next step is to switch identities within Entourage, create a new one, set it up with the users exchange
account and then reimport the data, as a note, the reason that we need to create a new identity is that if you simply
try and add the exchange account to the current identity and make it the default account, email, contacts, tasks and
notes can be directly copied to the exchange mailbox, however the calendar events cannot.
Importing the newly exported file back in on the same identity will only ensure that the calendar data goes back to
the calendar it came from, no matter which is the default account. By making the new identity, we are importing on a
calendar that is not the original.

Importing the user data into the new identity
At this point, we have 2 user identities; the users old identity which is setup in POP mode still containing all data and
a fresh identity with the users new exchange mailbox. And we have an exported file containing all their previous
data.
The next step is to import that data back into Entourage, but into the exchange mailbox instead. As previously
mentioned Entourage handles the way it imports these exported archive files a little differently than Outlook. Here is
a basic break down as to what is imported and where it ends up.
On My Computer and Exchange in this table refer to the locations specified by the accounts within the current
identity in Entourage.
Data Item Origin (POP mode Identity) Destination (Exchange Identity)
E-mail On My Computer email folders On My Computer in a new folder named same as exported file
Contacts On My Computer contacts Exchange contacts
Calendar On My Computer calendar Exchange calendar
Notes On My Computer notes On My Computer notes
Tasks On My Computer tasks On My Computer tasks
As you can see, once we import the Entourage archive file, only 2 out of the 5 types of data go to the users
exchange mailbox.
Note: Even though Outlook does, Entourage does not currently have the capability to sync Notes and Tasks on an
Exchange server, therefore if a user has these data items, they can only be stored locally On My Computer
Calendar events and contacts will be imported directly into the default calendar and contacts (these will be the
exchange calendar and contacts)
Email will be imported into a folder locally On My Computer put in a folder that will have the same name as the file
that was used to import all the data. For this reason, all email must be dragged up into the users exchange mailbox,
preferably within the Inbox.

On the left side of the Entourage window, scroll down and locate the newly created folder that is the same name as
the exported file, this will most likely be called Main Identity.rge. Expand out its folder levels to find the entire
users email data.
Once located, select all emails within this Inbox folder by clicking on one and then pressing Command (Apple) Key
+ A and then drag them up to the Inbox folder up the top under the Exchange mailbox.
If you hold down the Command (Apple) key as you release the mouse click over the inbox then the emails will be
moved, instead of copied.
Continue to drag either complete folders to the users Exchange inbox or the entire contents of the folders.
By moving them instead of copying them, you ensure that no emails or folders are missed.

Once you are satisfied that all emails, contacts, calendar events, notes and tasks have been moved across to the new
identity, you can now delete the other identity from Entourage. This is optional, but will ensure that if a user
accidently tries to switch identities for any reason there will only be one.
Click on the Entourage menu and select Switch Identity.
You should now see two entries. Once confident that all user data (e-mail, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks) has
been moved into the new Exchange identity, you can now select the other one (most likely called Main Identity)
and delete it.
You will get one final warning message to confirm. Click Delete and then OK to return to the new Exchange
identity.

Mail to Exchange
Mail, also and previously known as Apple Mail is the basic equivalent of Outlook Express for Mac. Its a simple mail
client that was only used by a small percentage of UTAS staff, and mainly used in POP mode, although it does have
the capability to connect to an Exchange mailbox.
Mail only handles emails, not calendar events or contacts, these are handled by separate programs; iCal and Address
Book. If a user has these programs in use, their data can be imported directly into the users exchange mailbox.

At this point, all of the users email will be imported into a folder under On My Computer called Mail Import. Just
like in the previous chapter Entourage in POP mode to Exchange, the users email must be moved up to the Inbox
under Exchange.
Once located, select all emails within this Inbox folder by clicking on one and then pressing Command (Apple) Key
A and then drag them up to the Inbox folder up the top under the Exchange mailbox.
If you hold down the Command (Apple) key as you release the mouse click over the inbox then the emails will be
moved, instead of copied.
Continue to drag either complete folders to the users Exchange inbox or the entire contents of the folders.

After all e-mail has been moved up to the users mailbox, then the MailImport folder can be deleted.
Importing iCal data into Exchange
Users who use Mail for their email, most likely use iCal for their calendar events. Importing the calendar into the
users mailbox is actually done from within iCal and does not require Entourage at all.
Users will use either one or both of the supplied calendars from iCal, by default, they are Home and Work.
Appointments in the calendar will be either of these colours. If a user is using both calendars, then the following
process will need to be done once for each calendar.
Start by selecting the calendar you wish to migrate.
From the File menu, hold your mouse over the Export submenu and then select Export
Leave the name as its default, it will be the same as the calendar that was selected. Ensure the location is the
Desktop.
This will export the entire calendar to an .ics file on the desktop. If you require the events from the other calendar,
please repeat the above steps.

Eudora to Exchange
In similar way to the PC version Eudora used to be one of the main email clients here at UTAS until the Exchange
project started in 2009.
It is important to note and to also note to the user (especially those unfamiliar with Entourage) that once the
migration is complete, unlike Eudora, Entourage will store attachments within the emails, not in a separate folder
like Eudora does. As most Eudora users are very attached to finding their attachments in a separate folder thatnormally has a shortcut on the desktop.
All imported emails will not have their attachments put back into the emails; they stay in the old attachment folder,
it is important to keep this folder for the user.
After Entourage is setup and working properly, start by opening Entourage and from the File menu, choose
Import.
Choose Information from another application and then click the small right arrow to continue.
Next choose Qualcomm Eudora (5.0 or later) and then click the small right arrow to continue.

Next, deselect Accounts and Rules, these are not needed and will only add complications if left checked. You
may also want to deselect Signatures and possibly Contacts depending on the user.
Entourage will now search for Eudora data
If it fails, Entourage will now ask you to point it to the Eudora data folder. This folder is in Documents and NOT in
Applications
All data will now be imported in.

As per with any Entourage import, the contact data will be placed into the primary Contacts. If Entourage is setup
correctly for Exchange, then the users exchange contacts will be the destination. Confirm that contacts have been
imported correctly.
Also as per any Entourage import, the messages data will NOT be placed into the primary messages location. Instead
they will be placed in a folder named Eudora Import which contains imports of all the major folders from Eudora.
As per described in the above chapter Importing Mail data into Entourage the messages must be moved up to the
users exchange mailbox.
Once located, select all emails within the In folder by clicking on one and then pressing Command (Apple) Key + A
and then drag them up to the Inbox folder up the top under the Exchange mailbox.
If you hold down the Command (Apple) key as you release the mouse click over the inbox then the emails will be
moved, instead of copied.
Continue to drag either complete folders to the users Exchange inbox or the entire contents of the folders.
In to Inbox, Out to Sent Items, Trash to Deleted Items
By moving them instead of copying them, you ensure that no emails or folders are missed.
