 Migrating from Exchange to Atmail

December 21, 2009

Many of our customers are migrating from Microsoft Exchange to Atmail for the added stability, performance and reliability using Atmail under Linux. To make the migration process simplier for clients, we have created a new migration script.

A full tutorial is available at:

http://www.atmail.com/support/index.php/Atmail6/ExchangeUserMigrationGuide

Data migrated includes

  • User folders
  • Email messages ( All folders )
  • Calendar data, exported from Outlook Vcalendar format to CalDAV ( We love open protocol calendaring, not a proprietary system like Exchange )
  • User addressbooks ( Via the Atmail Websync utility )

Our mission with Atmail is to become the leading Linux messaging solution and exchange alternative - With the new migration script, switching from Windows Exchange to Atmail is made one step easier.
