Import Outlook email into Horde

Online Email

[tonytis]

I have a client that would like her Outlook 2003 email from her pop3 acct moved into an online email system. I have Horde and Squirel on my server.

Does anyone know if it's possible to import Outlook email into an online email system without goung to Exchange?

Thanks,

Tony

Welcome to WebmasterWorld tonytis.

I've had Horde and SquirrelMail on a hosting account for a while and I've never been able to find a way to import a PST file or old e-mail into an IMAP system like those without a lot of unseemly work-arounds. Although both of those platforms are certainly functional I find them a bit lacking when dealing with volume mail. Also, if you look at the AJAX alternatives provided by Google, Yahoo and Microsoft you'll see that you can expect a lot more from a web based e-mail account.

If you're comfortable with open source, you might want to take a look at Zimbra as an Exchange alternative. It appears to have a lot of supporters and backing.
