I know that wiki page and the tool, but unfortunately I cannot use it easily. 
The current situation is somewhat weird; we are currently a small group hosted
in a bigger company, I do not have administrative access to Exchange, and the
sysops are, well, only partially cooperative...

As to move the mailboxes, I plan to reset each user's pwd on AD (I can do that),
and then run imapsync to shift everything to my new and then completely
separated Kolab/Samba installation (of course users have to agree with that
approach, I don't want to interfere with their privacy, but they will get new
Samba/Kolab passwords anyway!).  At that point having a *free* (I forgot to
mention that...) tool running on the Linux box /in a script/ (so the whole
switch-over could be done during a weekend with low traffic) would be the tool
I'm looking for...

Cheers, Albrecht.
