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.
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.
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.
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.
