MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Messaging data migrated by the user upgrade wizards
The upgrade wizards let users migrate their personal mail data from any local or mapped drive location. The upgrade wizards convert archived messages from the old mail system into messages in a Notes mail file archive. Private addresses and private mailing lists are migrated into a Notes Personal Address Book (NAMES.NSF) on the user's workstation. The following table shows how information in each mail system is converted to Notes information.

* Rich text formatting is not preserved in messages migrated from cc:Mail. International characters in the message body are converted during migration.

** The upgrade wizard can only migrate the archived messages of a cc:Mail Mobile user. Users cannot migrate the contents of an entire mailbox from a mobile post office on their workstation. Mobile users who want to migrate messages must archive the messages in the old mail program before running the upgrade wizard.

*** The upgrade wizard migrates Exchange personal distribution lists maintained in the PAB file on the client.

**** Because the cc:Mail archives can contain only messages that have been read, the upgrade wizard assigns the status read to all migrated archived messages.

The upgrade wizard for Microsoft Exchange assigns all messages migrated from Exchange the status unread.
