I see somebody modified the wiki with my post. I can now confirm that 
the above method works with unixhierarchysep: yes.

I can also tell you that importing an Exchange 5.5 pst file with the 
Bynari 4 client doesn't work. The email addresses are garbled and the 
emails mostly blank. . Later versions of Exchange may work as it seems 
to be the X.400 addresses that confuse Bynari (which is a superb 
connector, btw). I've still to test pst import with a standard imap 
account in Outlook. I have not tested Bymari's exportpst yet.

Another method I will test uses libpst:

I'm also writing up a howto to make Kolab co-exist with Exchange which I 
will post on the wiki. I'm using this for a gradual migration to Kolab.
