Google Apps IMAP Migration - Groupwise

I have successfully used the Google Apps IMAP migration tool with 3 Groupwise users, trying it out to see how much we will do on our own.  While Groupwise is officially in the "unsupported" category, I'm having some success so far.

Try the Google GroupWise migration available from http://www.cloudsolutions.co.uk/resources/migration-tool/

Some of the features of the tool include:

Supported Platforms

Migration of calendar and contacts
User provisioning

Provision users directly with the tool, no need to precreate
Set users details including initial password
Force password change on first login
Migration of email

All users email is migrated, server side. This means no user interaction is required as part of the migration.

Forwarded messages merged as Google forwarded messages
All other email settings preserved
Migration of users calendars

Both main and sub-calendars can be migrated, creating main and secondary calendars within Google Apps.
