MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Selecting an upgrade method
Each type of upgrade wizards migrates two or three types of personal data, as shown in the following table:
Upgrade wizardMail data migrated
cc:MailPrivate mailing lists, private addresses, archives
Microsoft MailPersonal address books, archives
Microsoft Outlook Express *Personal address books, local folders, messages in local folders
Microsoft Exchange/OutlookPersonal address books/contacts, personal folders, calendar entries and messages in local PST file
Users can choose between an Express or Custom upgrade method. The default Express method processes all the available messaging data using the default settings. When users select Custom upgrade, they can selectively migrate each of the available data types. For example, during a Custom upgrade, a user migrating from cc:Mail can select private addresses, private mailing lists, and archives. The upgrade wizards report an error if they cannot locate or convert any of the data types.

* The Microsoft Outlook Express upgrade wizard does not offer Express or Custom upgrade options. This wizard creates a Notes mail account in Outlook Express to which users manually copy messages to their Notes mail folders and exports their contacts to the Notes Personal Address Book in Outlook Express. The Microsoft Outlook Express upgrade wizard does not migrate mail messages and contact information automatically.
