Migration from Microsoft Outlook to Kolab

[Christoph Hartlmueller]

Hi,

since Outlook 2013 is able to sync with ActiveSync servers, you might be able to do all the migration using Outlook 2013 and moving data from your local Outlook2013 to your Kolab server. Just an idea, I have not done this before.

I dont know whats the state of Syncroton and Outlook 2013 either. But I hear some time2.0 people saying that it works (Tine2.0 also uses Syncroton). But if it works, chances are high you can migrate everything.

Cheers,

Christoph

Is there maybe a similar straight-forward solution for those, too?

Just try to export the Contacts/Calendar as CSV or set of VCards and try 
an import via the roundcube webgui.

for the Tasks. This can be complicated if not impossible cause webgui 
doesn't support import/export of tasks and there's no protocol (TaskDAV) 
or file type that has a common description how tasks are beeing saved 
(compared to .ics or .vcd for calendar and contacts).

It is possible that Outlook can export your tasks to a CSV file but i'm 
nt sure if Kontact is able to import and convert them.


tbh. I would just install a kolab instance and start playing around with 
it. You don't have to migrate today, so take your time, play around with 
it until you're happy with it. There'll be more questions once you start 
migrating anyway.
