What information WILL migrate?

• Any messages (sent or received) contained in your online account including all folders (except the “Trash” folder). Messages in your GroupWise "Mailbox" folder (where all of your incoming messages arrive) will appear in your "Inbox" in Outlook. 
• All calendar items including notes and tasks.  Notes migrated from GroupWise appear differently on the Outlook/Exchange calendar.
• All personal address books - GroupWise address books that are migrated to Exchange are put into a “Contact” tab on the left pane of your Outlook client.  Address books can be added to your Outlook “Contacts” list by right-clicking on a contact list and click “Properties”, select the “Outlook Address Book” tab and check:  “Show this folder as an E-mail Address Book”.  NOTE:  Personal address books containing distribution lists should be checked after the migration.  There are some problems with the migration of these distribution list members.
• GroupWise Archive files - GroupWise archive files will be collected shortly before the migration process as they will need to be converted along with the mailbox contents.  GroupWise archives may take several weeks to convert.
