SUMMARY

MORE INFORMATION
The cc:Mail Archive Importer is used to convert Lotus cc:Mail archive files
containing e-mail messages to Microsoft Exchange Server folders directly
from your desktop.
The cc:Mail Archive Importer administrator runs the Setup program. The
administrator may then perform the archive file conversions or may provide
users with the cc:Mail Archive Importer program and documentation so
they can perform the conversions.

you are prompted to Select an e-mail recipient to send notifications
of Archived imports; this step is optional.
Import Archived cc:Mail Folders

then click on the appropriate importer for your system:
Windows version 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups version 3.11:

- Click Next and then click Browse to locate the Archived folders file.
- Click the button next to the Destination Location to select another
store. Archived cc:Mail Folder files have an extension of cca.
NOTE: By default, the delivery location is selected as the Destination
Location. If the default Delivery location is the Mailbox on a Microsoft
Exchange Server, the Mailbox will be listed as the Destination Location.
However, if the Profile also has a Personal Folders file, you may choose
the Personal Folder as the Destination Location.
- Click to select the CCA file and click Open. The selected archive files
are displayed.
If you have incorrectly selected a file to remove it from the list
click to select it and then click Remove. To remove all archive
files in the list, click Remove All.
- Click to select the store for folders and messages on Microsoft Exchange
Server.
All cc:Mail archive files will have an associated Microsoft Exchange
Server folder. These folders are contained within a folder called
cc:Mail Archives, and will be imported to the location specified in
the Destination dialog box.
- When you are finished selecting archive files, click Run.
A screen displays your administrator's name, as well as the
organization to which the cc:Mail Archive Importer is licensed.
The console displays information about the messages as it converts data.
During the conversion process, e-mail messages are delivered to
Outlook as though Outlook were running.
- When conversion is complete, click Back to select additional cc:Mail
archive files for conversion, or click Next to display the results of
your conversion.
- Click Finish to quit the cc:Mail Archive Importer program.
You are now ready to check the cc:Mail Archive Importer log file for
errors. After converting your Lotus cc:Mail archive files, you can view
converted e-mail using your Outlook client. The Microsoft Outlook folder
list will contain a new folder called cc:Mail. Each subfolder of the
cc:Mail Archives represents a separate import session.
To Check the Importer Log File
- Open the log file using a text editor such as Notepad. Your log file
(Ccconv.l0) is located in the \Windows\Temp directory.
- Search for the string ERROR. If you find one or more occurrences of
ERROR, report it to your Mail Server administrator.
Do not delete the log file if errors are found. Your cc:Mail Archive
Importer administrator may require the log file to identify and resolve
the problem.
Lotus cc:Mail Archives
Lotus cc:Mail provides users with the ability to export their cc:Mail
messages to a cc:Mail archive format instead of an ASCII format. Exporting
messages to the cc:Mail archive format preserves all message components,
including attachments. Additionally, when cc:Mail messages are archived,
addressing for each message is changed so alternate post offices or cc:Mail
remote users can import the files correctly.
Folders and Messages
A Microsoft Exchange Server folder called cc:Mail Archives is created when
the cc:Mail Archive Importer runs. A subfolder will be created under the
cc:Mail Archives folder for each archive file selected for conversion. The
cc:Mail Archive Importer converts messages and places them in the
appropriate folder.
User Name Translations
In order to maintain the ability to use mail features such as Reply and
Reply To All, user names in the To, Cc, Bcc, and Author fields must be
translated when appropriate.
By default the cc:Mail Archive Importer converts cc:Mail names to Microsoft
Exchange Server, without translation.
Rich Text
Some cc:Mail rich text features are not converted by the cc:Mail Archive
Importer. Items such as fonts and highlighting will not be included in the
message structure when messages are converted to Microsoft Exchange Server.
For additional information see the Administrator's Guide included with the
cc:Mail Archives Importer.
