I have been asked to move from GroupWise 5.5.5 to IMail 7.1.
It appears that there are no migration tools.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to move email (inbox/sent items/folders/etc) from 
GroupWise to IMail other than simply forwarding everything?

Thing only thing I can think of (have not thought it through completely) is to pull 
the GroupWise email into an Outlook client (with Novell's GroupWise 5.5 Plug-in for MS 
Outlook) and try to store it locally (POP instead of IMAP).  Then change the Outlook 
client setup to access the IMail server.  That way, theoretically, all their email 
will be in the "same place" but if they delete one of their old (GroupWise) messages 
it will be gone forever, as opposed to deleting their new (IMail) messages which 
should be recoverable with a previous night's server backup.

If anyone has any thoughts or experience, please let me know.
