We are planning on moving a large amount of Exchange mailboxes to UNIX mbox format.
My question is, does anyone know of any projects out there
or of any
tools that can assist in this conversion?
I've never liked mbox, but if that's what you want then I believe regular old 'fetchmail' can do it.
Maildir is a more flexible mailbox format IMHO.
Write a script that will query Active Directory LDAP, generating a ~/.fetchmailrc file for each user.
Get your new box into the AD with samba and have samba manage the keytab file.
You can then have fetchmail run in daemon mode across all user accounts using Kerberos authentication as the host principal, on Exchange give the Linux box host principal full rights to each mailbox.
