Uploader für Microsoft Outlook


Open-Xchange provides users of Microsoft Outlook with a software tool to easily move e-mails, contacts, appointments and tasks to Open-Xchange Server. The software is available for free download


Relevant features and customer scenarios


Open-Xchange Microsoft Outlook Uploader enables users to easily move their data stored as PST files (Personal Storage Table) to Open-Xchange Server. A PST file contains copies of e-mail messages, calendar events, and other items on the local computer. Having all data centralized on the Open-Xchange Server enables administrators to integrate that data into their server-side backup environment and security policies. The “Uploader” is successfully used in the following customer scenarios:

  • The tool enables users to move from Microsoft Outlook to the Open-Xchange web client to help organizations significantly reduce costs for Outlook licenses. The migration process is completely transparent -- the “Uploader” keeps familiar folder and data structures in place to make it easy for the user to instantly access all e-mails, contacts, calendars and tasks using Open-Xchange.


  • For organizations moving from Microsoft Exchange Server to Open-Xchange, while keeping Microsoft Outlook for some or all users, the tool supports an easy-to-use user-centric migration process. Users who would like to clean-up their Outlook data will benefit from the “Uploader´s” manageability and flexibility.
