Make sure that the IMAP protocol on port 143 is enabled in Configuration Services in the administration interface.

In case of setting of mapping of user accounts, follow also these guidelines: After completion of mapping settings, go to section Users in the Kerio Connect's administration interface and click on Add.

Before starting the migration, it is recommended to guarantee that Microsoft Exchange Server does not accept any emails and that no user whose account is involved in the 5 migration could connect to it (obviously except the administrator's account which is used for connection of the migration tool to the server). Otherwise, migrated data might be inconsistent. The migration requires that both the Kerio Connect and the Microsoft Exchange Server are running. 4 Migration process Connection test Create a new profile in MS Outlook on the computer where the Kerio Exchange Migration Tool is installed. This profile will include an account with rights for the Microsoft Exchange Server's administration. Try to use the account to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server. If the connection was successful, the migration is ready to start. Launching migration Check the following example: 1. Run Kerio Exchange Migration Tool, for instance from Start Programs Kerio Exchange Migration Tool. Warning: Never start the migration tool if it is already running. The migration tool is opened as a wizard where administration usernames and passwords for the Microsoft Exchange Server and then for Kerio Connect are required. For connection to both servers, check all user accounts to migrate in the Select Users dialog (see figure 2). [. . . ] This will help you avoid data inconsistence on the client sides. Details on how to set for example profiles in MS Outlook or a new account in MS Entourage, refer to Kerio Connect 7, User's Guide. 8 5 Migration process logs Several logs are created tracing the migration process.
