Converting Contacts

If you used contacts or contact lists (distribution lists) in a previous version of Ipswitch Web Messaging or in Microsoft Outlook with the IMail Collaboration plug-in, the contacts and contact lists are automatically imported into the new IMail Web Messaging client.. A new Contacts folder is created that includes contacts.

• Ipswitch Web Messaging contacts and or contact lists (distribution lists) are imported and converted in a one-time process, during the IMail Collaboration installation, that imports the contact data from the aliases.txt file. The new data displays in the Web Messaging Contacts folder.

Note: Contact lists (distribution lists) imported from a previous version of Ipswitch Web Messaging are read only. They cannot be edited or added to after they are imported during the IMail Web Client installation.

• If IMail Collaboration is installed and Contact sharing is enabled, contacts and contact lists imported from Microsoft Outlook automatically synchronize and update in your Ipswitch Web Messaging Contacts on a regular basis. When you add new contacts in the Web Messaging Contacts, the new contact information synchronizes and updates in your Outlook contacts.
