Topic: Is it possible to migrate Groupwise mail over to SME Server?

[mbsmi]

SME Server and Linux newbie here.  Very pleased with initial installation and testing.  Currently running as server only behind firewall with Netware 5.0 server as main office backbone running Groupwise 5.5ep for mail.

Has anyone successfully migrated mail from Groupwise to the SME Server mail program?  I've been trying various combinations under Delegate mail servers but no luck so far.

Thanks in advance for any help/tips/links.

On my home system, I was running GWise 6.5 and migrated our mail to imp with help from this link:

On my SME server I created a dummy domain for the delegated mail, and created an entry in /etc/hosts on the netware server so it would know where to send the mail.  The only drawback is that all of the mail will be tagged with whatever the original subject was and appended with a -delegated, and all mail will be in the inbox.  I moved a folder at a time,then re-created the folders under imp and moved them.  Please note, I was runing NW 6.0 and GW 6.5, but I don't forsee any issues with what you are running.

Good Luck,
