-****************************************
-1) How to start
-****************************************
-
-For the migration we need the actual Outlook 200X data, which Outlook stores in *.pst files.
-Then we need an installed version of Outlook 200X to access these *.pst files.
-When we have an Outllook 200X running with all data accessable, we need the migration tools.
-
-If you have no Outlook200X installed please install the Outlook version, you need to a import your *.pst files.
-If you have an Outlook200X installed with no contact/calendar data available, and you have some *.pst files please continue with: 2) How to import pst files in Outlook.
-If you have a running Outlook200X already with contact/calendar data available, please continue with: 3) Where to get the migration tools.
-
-
-****************************************
-2) How to import pst files in Outlook
-****************************************
-
-To open a local *.pst file in Outlook2003, choose menu:
-File - Open - Outlook Data File ...
-Now the data included in this file is shown
-as folders of a newly added root folder in the Outlook folder view.
-This root folder is probably not accessable from
-the migration tools via OLE.
-To access data stored in one of the subfolders,
-copy this subfolder to a root folder,
-which can be accessed from the migration tools via OLE.
-(To know, which folder can be accessed, just perform 5.) or 6.) until
-you get the Oulook import dialog!)
-
-To copy it, right click on that subfolder and choose
-Copy "<subfoldername>"...
-in the popup menu.
-
-****************************************
-3) Where to get the migration tools
-****************************************
-
-The data migration is is performed with the Windows versions of KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi.
-Pi stands for platform-independend - platform-independend because the same program is available for different platforms, like Windows, Linux desktop and Sharp-Zaurus PDA.
-Note: The Linux desktop versions of KOrganizer/Pi and KOrganizer/KDE-desktop are two different programs! You cannot use KOrganizer/Pi together with, or embedded in, the KDE-desktop environment. The same is valid for KAdddressbook/Pi.
-
-The programs you need for the migration are:
-a) KAdddressbook/Pi executeable + 2dlls + icons
-b) KOrganizer/Pi executeable + icons
-c) The Qt3 library qt-mt331.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll and the MSVC library mfc71u.dll
-You can download all of them at:
-
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/
-
-Download of a) and b)
-Please choose there package/project with name KDE/Pim
-(Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 )
-Choose there the topmost latest version and the files
-kapixxx-exe.zip
-kopixxx-exe.zip
-The latest version is currently ( 2004-07-13 ) 1.9.3a.
-Such that the files to download are
-kapi193a-exe.zip
-kopi193a-exe.zip
-
-To download c)

-kdepimdll.zip
-
-(Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=122438&release_id=256700 )
-Choose there the file:
-kdepimdll.zip
-
-Now you have downloaded the files
-
-kapi193a-exe.zip
-kopi193a-exe.zip
-kdepimdll.zip
-
-and we can continue to install the files, which is simply unzipping them.
-
-
-****************************************
-4) How to install the migration tools
-****************************************
-
-You have downloaded the files
-
-kapi193a-exe.zip
-kopi193a-exe.zip
-kdepimdll.zip
-
-Unzip these files.
-Now choose an arbitrary installation directory, where to copy all the needed files together.
-You should have now the following files and the directory "kdepim" in the same directory:
-kopi.exe
-kapi.exe
-microkabc_dir.dll
-microkabc_file.dll
-msvcr71.dll
-mfc71u.dll
-qt-mt331.dll
-ReadMich.txt
-kdepim (directory)
-
-The directory "kdepim" should contain subdirectories
-kaddressbook
-korganizer
-which itself contain some subdirectories with icons and help text.
-
-Now the migration tools are ready for use.
-
-
-NOTE AND HINT for performing migration on many workstations:
-Just burn the content of the installation dir on a CD.
-Then you can put the CD in every workstation and execute the migration tools from that CD directly.
-

-5) How to get the contact data out of Outlook200X
-*************************************************************
-
-Note: When accessing Outlook to read the data, it should not be possible, that there is any data lost in Outlook, because the progam accesses Outlook only Read-Only.

-and the other needed files accessable on your workstation.
-
-Getting the contact data
-
-Please start kapi.exe.
-Choose menu:
-File - Import - Import from OL...
-You will get a dialog which shows all "Personal Folders" of Outlook.
-Choose the Contact Folder(s) you want to import and select them with a hook.
-(All other folder but the contact 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.

-
-Choose menu:
-File - Save
-and close KA/Pi.
-Now you should have the contact data in the file std.vcf in your home directory in the path
-(YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\kabc\std.vcf
-
-Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination.
-Import that file into KAddressbook/Kontact via Import - Import vcard.
-Details about importing you can read at: 7) How to import your contact data into Kontact
-

-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.
-These may be changed in future versions.
-
-Attendee lists of meetings and their state are imported in KOrganizer.
-
-A problem is importing some kinds of recurring events:
-
-First problem:
-OL offers a recurrence like
-- Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July.
-KOrganizer ( in versions < 3.3.0 ) does not offer that kind of recurrence.
-Such that
-"Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July."
-is converted to
-"Monthly recurrence, every 12. month, second Tuesday in month, StartMonth = July."
-which can be edited in KO.
-
-Second problem:
-OL offers an exception in a recurrence with other data/time.
-KO offers only an exception in a recurrence , where the exception is deleted from the row of all occurences.
-Such that
-"Recurring event with exception, that date XX should be at date YY"
-in OL is converted to two events in KO:
-"Recurring event with exception, that date XX is not included"
-"Non-recurring event at date YY with same data like the recurring event (e.g. Summary, location, attendee list, ...)"
