The Next Generation in Messaging: Moving from Microsoft Mail to Lotus Notes and Domino

This redbook describes how to migrate from a Microsoft Mail environment to Lotus Notes and Domino Release 5.0.

Following the introduction, the Microsoft Mail and Lotus Domino environments are presented in an overview, and some general guidelines are given for the selection of a coexistence and migration tool that meets the customer's requirements.

The chapters following the overview provide information on some of the coexistence tools available. This is intended for those customers who have a requirement for coexistence between the two environments before migrating to Lotus Notes and Domino. The coexistence tools covered in this redbook are the Microsoft Mail SMTP Gateway in conjunction with the SMTP mail routing available with Lotus Domino Release 5.0 and two coexistence tools offered by Binary Tree, Inc. for mail forwarding and directory synchronization.

The later chapters focus on the migration from Microsoft Mail to Lotus Domino. First, the administrator-based and user-based migration tools provided by Lotus Domino Release 5.0 are discussed in detail. Then the user migration tool from Binary Tree for migrating Schedule+ 1.0 data to Lotus Domino Release 5.0 Calendaring & Scheduling is described.

This redbook documents a number of third-party products for migration and coexistence. By including them in this document, IBM/Lotus do not solely endorse these products for use in this type of environment. Other third-party products may be available that perform similar or equivalent functions.

The redbook was written for system administrators, IBM business partners, and the IBM and Lotus community, who need a good technical understanding of how to configure a coexistence environment between Microsoft Mail and Lotus Domino Release 5.0, and how to migrate users and data from Microsoft Mail to Lotus Domino Release 5.0.
