	Migrating e-mails from MS Exchange

Solution All you need to do in MS Exchange to migrate e-mails to Icewarp Server is to enable the IMAP service.

Then in Icewarp Server in System -> Tools -> Server Migration enter the following:

Source host: IP of the Exchange server
Type: IMAP
Log file: <merak>\migration.log
Access mode: username

And click Start.
Icewarp Server then works as an IMAP proxy - after a user logs in webmail, pop3 or imap Icewarp Server checks his username and password against Exchange and if it is correct, migrates his e-mails and then stores the user in Icewarp Server.

If you have user passwords, you can create a list of users in the following format:

user:password:domain.com
user2:password2:domain.com

Where domain.com is a local domain at Icewarp Server, where the user should be stored finally.
Then click the "Manual" tab, choose Bulk user and select the source file you created in the previous step.
Merak will immediately start migrating e-mails of all specified users.

Icewarp Server migrates one mailbox at a time by default. If your Exchange server can take more, you can set higher number in Services -> IMAP -> Other -> Maximum number of outgoing connections.
