How to migrate from Mirapoint to Outlook
and the Exchange server
- Pre-Migration Steps
- Submit a request by calling the IT Help Center at 831-6000 with a list of users and the reason for the migration. Include any extra resources needed, shared mailboxes, or public calendars with list of access (full or read only).
- You MUST give at least 24 hours notice for migration.
- Make sure user does not access Mirapoint e-mail after 6:00 p.m. on the day of migration.
- A mailbox is created and mail is sent to users in Mirapoint about obtaining a temporary password. Or, the user can go directly to instructions on the Web page at http://www.udel.edu/topics/exchange/userfaqs.html#temppassword.
- After migration is complete, all e-mail will have been copied to Exchange from Mirapoint.
- After one week, all mail on Mirapoint will be archived and kept for one month.
- Quota will be the same on Exchange as it was on Mirapoint. If a user needs an increase, then a request must be sent to the Help Center.
- Outlook setup can be performed by IT CS&S staff or a departmental CITA.
- Migrating Local Mail from previous e-mail client to Outlook Personal Folders
Options:
- Keep the old e-mail client on the computer. Have the user access messages prior to the Exchange account set up via the previous client. Have the user forward messages to him- or herself, if messages need to be transferred.
- If your Local Folders are very large or numerous, contact the Help Center (831-6000) to request a CS&S staff member help you move the folders.
- Migrate Address book to contacts
- Open the Mozilla or Thunderbird Address book.
- Select the Personal Address book.
- Export this file as a .csv file. If a user has an address book in Mirapoint Webmail Direct, have the user log in to Webmail, and use the address book import/export utility to export the address book as a .csv file.
- Open Microsoft Outlook.
- From the File menu, click Import.
- Click Import from another program or file–Comma Separated Values (Windows).
- Use Browse to select the exported .csv file.
- Click Next.
- Select the destination folder.
- Click Next.
- Click Finish.
NOTE
You may need to map the Address book fields to Microsoft Outlook contact fields for the file to import correctly.
