The by far most read post on my blog is my post on migrating mail archives from Microsoft Outlook to Apple Mail.
I’ve had numerous discussions with to-be-switchers about what was going to happen to their mail archives and future email. Because not all of them have followed Apple’s announcements and not all have made the relevant experience with the Microsoft Exchange support on the iPhone, I thought I’d post this information, that with the next release of OS X Snow Leopard, besides other Apple is going to introduce native support for Microsoft Exchange:
Snow Leopard includes out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange 2007 built into Mail, Address Book, and iCal. Mac OS X uses the Exchange Web Services protocol to provide access to Exchange Server 2007. Because Exchange is supported on your Mac and iPhone, you’ll be able to use them anywhere with full access to your email, contacts, and calendar.
This means that with a standard setup for your Outlook you will not have to do anything or, with local archives, just need to follow my earlier suggestion, to have full mail support and a smooth transition to Apple’s OS X.
