Hey there...

I have a client who would like to go to GroupWise from NetMail. I cannot find any documentation on how to migrate/upgrade/convert...whatever from NetMail to GroupWise. They cannot lose any of their existing mail during the migration process. Anyone have any info they can pass on?

Thank You!!!

Are they currently using Netmail in POP3 or IMAP mode? (actually, it probably doesn't matter..)

Set up GroupWise, and create a new IMAP account in your current e-mail client poiting to the GroupWise server. Move messages from their current location to the groupwise account.

If there are lots of users, this can be tedious, but it's the only way I know of to move mail between the two systems reliably.

Hi. Finally able to work with the client on this migration. Have a couple of questions regarding your answer. When you say connect to your current mail client - do you mean the NetMail one or the "new" GroupWise one I will be creating? Also - when you say "move" is there a feature to "move" or must I forward copies of mail to the new account. Do you by any chance have any step-by-step docs on this procedure? Thank you for your answer.
