This affects Outlook 2000 onwards.

Outlook Client Send/Recieve Error 0x80070057

Outlook 2007 client generates the above error on send and receive if the Zarafa server is added to an existing profile. Creating a new clean profile solved the problem.

Migrating users and data to Zarafa

Folder Naming

SME and Zarafa use different folder naming. To enhance migration SME folders should be renamed prior to migration.

drafts > Drafts
junkmail > Junk E-mail
sent-mail > Sent Items
trash > Deleted Items

Zarafa migration whitepaper describes various ways of migrating your users and your data to a Zarafa server.

IMAP migration from SME/IMAP to Zarafa/IMAP

Configure zarafa-gateway for migration enabling IMAP on port 144 only as shown above

Get imapsync and required perl module

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-Mail-IMAPClient/perl-Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall perl-Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

wget http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/imapsync-1.264.tgz
tar -zxvf imapsync-1.264.tgz
cd ./imapsync-1.264
make install

Perform a user mail sync from SME/IMAP (host1/port1) to Zarafa/IMAP (host2/port2)

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 <username> --password1 <password> --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 <username> --password2 <password>

Example to synchronize a user named 'bob' with password 'bob123' from SME IMAP into Zarafa:

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 bob --password1 bob123 --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 bob --password2 bob123

After syncing is complete, stop zarafa-gateway service and/or edit /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg to meet your needs.
