Pick how you want your clients to access mail in the future and get them running on that software with the current Exchange server and POP3 or IMAP4 access. 2) Exchange can forward an accounts email to another box. So that you do not have to convert everything at once move a few boxes to the qmail system. Have Exchange forward their mail. Once things are solid on the qmail system let it handle the inbound SMTP traffic and forward non-local mail to the Exchange server. 3) If the server will run Exchange it should run Linux.

Re: migrating from MS Exchange to q-mail
In theory, you could use an Outlook express as such a gateway. Outlook express speaks IMAP and MS Exchange. MS Exchange can export a .PST file containing every thing in the user's inbox, outbox, etc. Outlook express can import such .pst files. One can (in theory) simply read from a PST file and then push it up to a local folder on the IMAP server. This has not been proven to work...its an idea...

Re: migrating from MS Exchange to q-mail
I don't think Appoinment have to anything to do with email. Its Microsoft's way of proving its worth. From an IT management point of view keep your resouces seperate. Or one day you'll be paying for it. Just like the idea of TV with VCR built in it. If you recall, there was something monolithic called Mainframe. We then took to streets to distribute themI think it was the push for open systems and distributed system. Vendors would use any chance they get to sucker users into yet another monolithic environment. "Robin S.

You lose stuff like appointment management, but you get an Operating System and an MTA that works. If you don't want to lose that groupware functionality, take a look at HP's OpenMail (which uses sendmail AFAICS). -- Robin S.

RE: migrating from MS Exchange to q-mail
Speaking of OpenMail, I've never used it but there was a good editorial in InfoWorld two weeks ago that talked about how great it was. It didn't go into detail on the product but it did say that HP has decided to cancel future development of it because it was obvious that OpenMail would be an MS Exchange killer in every way and they don't want to ruin their relationship with Microsoft.
