This article explains how to migrate to MailEnable from other mail systems.
There are two approaches that can be considered when migrating to MailEnable:
Using this approach, a user initiates the migration process via the webmail client.
This is done as follows:
MailEnable's Migration Center provides a comprehensive set of wizards that allow migration from legacy mail systems. It is possible to migrate a single organization/domain or to migrate an entire server.
The most significant challenge in migrating from a legacy mail system is obtaining credentials/access to legacy mailboxes (since it requires knowledge of user's passwords).
If you know user's passwords then the migration process is straight forward and you can simply create the users in MailEnable and configure the Migration Console to import from the legacy mail system.
If you cannot do this, the migration utility is able to capture the
users' credentials when they authenticate against MailEnable, and then use these
credentials to migrate their e-mail from the legacy server. Please see the
documentation for the migration utility for more details. The migration utility
and documentation is installed with the mail server.
For more information on the migrating, please refer to the documentation installed under the MailEnable/Migration program group. The following articles may also assist you in migrating:
