ZCS Administrator Guide 8.0

Open Source Edition

Importing Content from User Mailboxes

Zimbra developed different applications to facilitate moving a user’s email messages, calendars, and contacts from their old email servers to their accounts on the Zimbra server. When the user’s files are imported, the folder hierarchy is maintained. Use one of the ZCS utilities to move user mail to ZCS to guarantee that all information is imported correctly.

The following applications can be accessed from the administration console Download page, and instruction guides are available from the Help Desk page or from the Zimbra Website, Documentation page.

Alternatively, you can download the following applications from
http://{example.com/downloads}/index.html (with “example” being your Zimbra server name).

ZCS Migration Wizard for Exchange. Format is an .exe file. You can migrate users from Microsoft® Exchange server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.

ZCS Migration Wizard for Domino. Format is an .exe file. You can migrate users from Lotus Domino server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.

PST Import Wizard (User Instructions). Format is an .exe file. Users download the Import Wizard to their computers and run the executable file to import their Outlook .pst files to the Zimbra server. Before users run this utility, Zimbra recommends that they run the Outlook Inbox Repair tool, scanpst.exe, on their .pst files, to clean up any errors in their file.
