Please choose your timezone and adjust the daylight saving settings. The dialog shows defaults for CET (Central European Time), such that users located in central Europe simply can press "OK" in that dialog. (Note: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET). Now you will see the KO/Pi main window. Choose menu: File - Import from OL You will get a dialog which shows all "Personal Folders" of Outlook. Choose the Calendar Folder(s) you want to import and select them with a hook. (All other folder but the calendar data containing folders are shown, but disabled). (If the data you want to import is not stored in one of the shown folders, please read step 2.) and click on "close" ). Click the "import" button. Now Outllok asks you to allow access to the contact data. Select "Allow access" amd click "Yes" in this dialog. Now the importing is performed and KO/Pi will show a progress bar. After importing, KO/Pi shows a dialog, how much calendar items are imported. If you press a second time "import" , already imported calendar items are not imported again. After importing you can choose another "Calendar Folder" to import or close the import dialog. Please close the import dialog. Now you see the imported calendar items in KO/Pi. Please verify, that the import was correct. About problems of mapping particular Outlook-data-fields to KOrganizer-data-fields see Appendix B). Close KO/Pi - data will be saved automatically. Now you should have the calendar data in the file mycalendar.ics in your home directory in the path (YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\korganizer\mycalendar.ics Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination. Import that file into KOrganizer/Kontact. Details about importing your calendar data you can read at: 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact. (Warning again: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET). Now you have your Outlook200X calendar data on the KDE desktop available and you are done with the migration. Hint: If you want to use KO/Pi and KA/Pi on your windows desktop, you should read all the help information available in the KO/Pi Help menu. One Highlight of KO/Pi is the easy syncing with another *.ics file. (Information about syncing available in the KO/Pi help menu). Another hint: KO/Pi + KA/Pi ( = KDE-Pim/Pi ) are available for the Sharp Zaurus PDA. Syncing data works for KO/Pi ( version 1.9.3) but not yet for KA/Pi. ************************************************************* 7) How to import your contact data into Kontact ************************************************************* - - -MISSING - - +We want to import and upload our contacts to a Kolab server. +You should have access to a properly configured Kolab client. +This Kolab client is Kontact in KDE. +Make sure, you have the needed IMAP resources configured in KAddressbook. +To configure IMAP resources, you should do: + + Open KDE control center, choose there + KDE Components - KDE Resource Configuration + Choose there: + Resources: contact + and then: + Add... + IMAP + +Now start Kontact and select the Contacts icon on the left side. +Choose menu: +File... - Import - Import VCard... +Select the imap resource as destination of the import +and choose the file to import. +Now the contacts should be imported and you are done. + +Don't forget to sync the IMAP account to upload to contacts to the server. ************************************************************* 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact ************************************************************* - -MISSING - +We want to import and upload our calendar data to a Kolab server. +You should have access to a properly configured Kolab client. +This Kolab client is Kontact in KDE. +Make sure, you have the needed IMAP resources configured in KOrganizer. +To configure IMAP resources, you should do: + + Open KDE control center, choose there + KDE Components - KDE Resource Configuration + Choose there: + Resources: calendar + and then: + Add... + Calendar on IMAP-server via KMail + +Now start Kontact and select the Calendar icon on the left side. +Choose menu: +File... - Import - Merge Calendar... +Select the imap resource as destination of the import +and choose the file to import. +Now the calendar data should be imported and you are done. + +Don't forget to sync the IMAP account to upload the calendar data to the server. ************************************************************* APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data ************************************************************* All data, which can be displayed and accessed in KAddressbook is imported from Outlook. In Outlook you can assign an attribute "This is the mailing address" to one of the addresses. This address shows up in KAddressbook twice. The first time with the original attribute from Outlook ( e.g. "work" for "business" in OL ). The second time with the attribute "postal". All telephone numbers of OL are imported. OL offers special case telephone numbers, like "Assistant", which have no counterpart in KAdressbook. In that case, the imported number has special combined attributes in KAddressbook. Here is the mapping of types in OL to attributes in KA: OL type Attributes in KA Assistant Work + Voice Business Work Business2 Work BusinessFax Work + Fax Car Car Home Home Home2 Home HomeFax Home + Fax ISDN Isdn Mobile Cell (displayed as Mobile Phone) OtherFax Fax OtherTelephone Voice Pager Pager PrimaryTelephone Pref ( displayed as typeless, with attribute preferred ) TTYTDD Modem Telex Fax + Bbs (Bbs displayed as MailBox - not very senseful, sorry ...) CompanyMain Work + Pref Radio Video Callback Voice + Pref Some mapping may not be very senseful, but it helps to identify the original OL types. ************************************************************* APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data ************************************************************* Almost all data, which can be displayed and accessed in KOrganizer is imported from Outlook. Attachments of appointments are not imported. KOrganizer may crash, when reading some kinds of attachments. |
