Outsmart Imbox
Outsmart Imbox facilitates the migration from other email servers to Microsoft Outlook and Exchange.
It extracts messages from mbox files and imports them into specified folders in Outlook or Exchange stores.
Imbox is intended for use by system administrators and migration experts, and is supplied in the form of a command-line program that you run in a console window. This design makes it easy to automate via batch files or scripts.
