Re: [brlug-general] Import mail into Exchange..
Haha. Well, we have a need to migrate 4000+ mailboxes from a Courier-IMAP box to Exchange.

Re: [brlug-general] Import mail into Exchange..
Another method, if you have a tool to do direct imap->exchange, would be to copy all the maildirs onto another server where you have the freedom to create user accounts with whatever password you want. Or, some IMAP servers let you log in with an administrative account that gives access to all the user folders. I think the IMAP command for this is "authuser" Dustin Puryear wrote: > I want to import mail into a user's Exchange mailbox without needing to > have their password.

Exmerge is what you're looking for. You can make a csv file with the accounts and run the utility. Bret J.

Re: [brlug-general] Job Opening
We were looking, about a year or so ago, for someone who could fill a basic entry level tech position and were approached by someone moving to BR and looking for a job. The requirements were (a) ability to read simple circuit diagrams. (b) use a soldering iron. The resume looked passable, and they knew up front what we were looking for - they showed up for the interview. Turns out that they can't even identify components on a schematic and have never used a soldering iron. I don't think that people really expect resumes to be read anymore...
