Weblog:   Thunderbird is go
Subject:   Ditched Lotus Notes for Thunderbird

I recently decided that I should have a personal copy of my work-related email (I'm leaving for a different job). One problem I had was that we used Lotus Notes as the corporate email (and much more) client. Our analyst enabled IMAP on my Notes account. Then I installed Thunderbird. Within minutes I was accessing my work account through the network.


That is only a temporary measure, of course, since on my last day IMAP won't even work :) So I also enabled Offline message storage and just sync it with the IMAP account. I'm looking forward to putting Thunderbird on my home PC and bringing over my mail files. I'll cross my fingers and see how it goes.


I did a similar task earlier when I wanted to dump Outlook emails from a Windows system, into KMail on my Linux system. This was a bit more convoluted back then, but I was able to do it by installing Netscape Mail, using the Outlook importer. Then transferring my data onto the linux machine and importing the files into KMail.
