75 | |||
76 | We assume, that we have an OL version installed that manages emails, contact and calendar data. | ||
77 | |||
78 | The goal is it to get the emails, contacts and calendar data of OL on a Kolab server. | ||
79 | |||
80 | After having the data on the Kolab server, we have two choices: | ||
81 | |||
82 | (A) Accessing the server from KDE with the KDE-Kolab Client Kontact. | ||
83 | (B) Accessing the server from Windows XP Outlook 2003 with Toltec Connector. | ||
84 | |||
85 | Such that do have two strategies for the migration: | ||
86 | |||
87 | (i) | ||
88 | Use the Toltec Connector for migrating the contact | ||
89 | and calendar data. | ||
90 | Moving the email in OL to the Kolab server. | ||
91 | |||
92 | This can be used for (A) and (B). | ||
93 | Doing this for (A) might involve installing | ||
94 | the Toltec Connector on the source platform | ||
95 | syncing everything freshly on the Kolab Server and then | ||
96 | just continue using the KDE client on the new data. | ||
97 | |||
98 | (ii) | ||
99 | Use the migration tools for migrating the contact | ||
100 | and calendar data. | ||
101 | Moving the email in OL to the Kolab server. | ||
102 | |||
103 | Doing this for (A), there is no need to install the | ||
104 | Toltec Connector on the source platform. | ||
105 | |||
106 | |||
107 | |||
108 | *** Choosing (A) and (ii) | ||
109 | |||
110 | If you choose (A) and (ii), please read | ||

120 | (A) and (i) | ||
121 | |||
122 | If you choose (B) and (i) or if you choose (A) and (i), | ||
123 | please upgrade to QL XP and install the | ||
124 | Toltec Connector. After that, please read | ||

133 | |||

135 | you have configured it to access the Kolab server. | ||
136 | |||
137 | Select the contacts you want to copy. | ||
138 | If you want to select all contacts of a folder, | ||
139 | select the topleft entry, scroll to the right, | ||

156 | Right click on it - a popup menu pops up. | ||

177 | Note: | ||
178 | There is no need to have the Toltec Connector installed to move/copy | ||
179 | mails with Outlook to an IMAP server. | ||
180 | |||
181 | We assume that there is already the IMAP account on the Kolab server | ||
182 | configured in OL. | ||
183 | You will see there a folder Inbox. (And maybe other folders). | ||
184 | These folder may contain the subfolders "Calendar", "Tasks", "Journal" and Notes. | ||
185 | These folders are used by the Kolab Groupware client, | ||
186 | DO NOT COPY ordinary emails to this folders! | ||
187 | |||
188 | If you do not want to copy your emails in the "Inbox", | ||
189 | please create another folder on the server. | ||
190 | |||
191 | Now select your folder with the emails, you want to copy. | ||
192 | |||
193 | Select there the emails, you want to copy. | ||
