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 Ipswitch IMail Server V12 installation.

• If IMail Collaboration is installed and Contact sharing is enabled, contacts and contact groups imported from Microsoft Outlook will automatically begin synchronizing and updating in your Ipswitch Web Client Address Books on a regular basis. When you add new contacts in the Web Client Address Books, the new contact information will synchronize and update in your Outlook contacts.
