Google Apps Migration for Microsoft
Outlook® (Google Apps for Business
and Education only). This standalone
utility lets you migrate Microsoft
Outlook® mail, contacts, and calendar
events (including recurring meetings)
to Google Apps. You can import data
to Google Apps from a Microsoft®
Exchange profile or PST file. You
then work with your data from the
Google Apps web interface.
-
Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook®
(Google Apps for Business and Education
only). This Microsoft Outlook® plugin
lets you use Outlook as a client
application for accessing your Google
Apps mail, contacts, and calendars.
You can also use it to migrate Outlook

(including recurring meetings) to

- Gmail's
Mail Fetcher is configured with
each user's email account (rather
than in the Google Apps control
panel) and allows your users to
fetch mail from both Gmail and non-Gmail
accounts. Fetched mail is inserted
into your users' Google Apps Email
accounts. With this method, migration
is performed on a user-by-user basis.
Use this method if transferring
existing data isn't required but
each user has the option of transferring
mail. Note: When fetching mail from
a Gmail or Google Apps account,
use the Gmail POP server settings
described
here.
