RE: Client transition from POP to Exch email

Nathan, I do have one more follow-up question... if the users start using the
Exchange email box that's fine... but if they start using the Exchange based
Calendar - which is desirable for it's collaboration features - then their
current Calenders in their PST local file becomes isolated somewhat. Is there
a way to merge the contents of their Calenders that are now on the local PST,
with the Calendars in Exchange? Also, I see this a question in Contacts.. can
we merge the existing PST local based Contacts, with the new Exchange based
Contacts file?
Just trying to take advantage of having the information, now Exchange based
- but want to use what has been setup to date in the PST local files. I hope
this is clear enough for you to assist. Thanks - Dodge
