Changing from Exchange to IMAP linux based email?
I have a client who is running his own exchange sbs 2003 server. He wants to move to a hosted IMAP linux account. Mu question is what would be the best way or practice to move him.
I was thinking just back up his .pst files on the local machine, then set up the new IMAP account in outlook. Create the new folders using the web based email access. then import all the .pst info into the new IMAP account.
Lastly change MX records to point ot the new mail server.
Am I on the right track? missing anything?

Yes everything will be connected via IMAP
The problem I've run into on outlook is that it wants to put sent stuff into your local pst sent instead of the imap sent if you have two accounts. So I made a rule to copy those to the imap sent so I could see them on my phone. My iPhone had no problem putting the sent into the right place.
