imap2exchange Conversion Utility

Added by Joseph Valerio, last edited by Joseph Valerio on Mar 04, 2009  (view change)

Overview

The imap2exchange Conversion Utility merely moves mail.  This utility depends on the Exchange account provisioned and IMAP access to the legacy mail store. This tool is a simple queue manager that converts X number of mailbox concurrently, while queuing N number of conversions in a FIFO manner. I have created a command line utility that executes conversions based on a user file, and I have created a Web App to run conversion add via a form. If you happen to have a need for an other form of conversionManager Application, say swing, then please feel free to write it.

1.2.7 Changes

  • Fixed the Sent Items Date Issue. All messages that were saved to the IMAP store from IMAP Clients never receive a Received header. Exchange would mark these messages as received at the time of the conversion. As I send the MIME content to the EWS I add a Received header from imap2exchange and set the date to the original create date of the message, resulting in the correct date displaying in outlook.
  • I added timers to record the time spent doing specific tasks the aid in system configuration modifications increasing performance. All times are in milliseconds.
    Example: 
    Exchange Connect
    cnt:   6
    max:   1774
    min:   2
    total: 1790
Exchange Message Delivery
    cnt:   1
    max:   583
    min:   583
    total: 583

    max:   412
    min:   87
    total: 1003

imap2exchange-server

Current Version - N/A Please get it from subversion, modify the build.properties and the config files in WEB-INF and build the war.
Subversion (read-only) - http://tp.its.yale.edu/svn_public/email_conversion/imap2exchange-server/trunk

Notes on imap2exchange-server
There are 2 jsps that are Yale specific. They are the poFinder.jsp, and info.jsp. info.jsp should be easy to update for your implementation, but you can just remove poFinder.jsp from the menu.jsp to avoid it.
