[Users] Importing contacts from Kerio? Building address book from imported Sent mail folder?

[John Webster]

Hello Friends, 

Looking for some help.

Anyone know how to export contacts from Kerio that can be imported to Zimbra? From the best we can find it is a convoluted process to import the account to gmail to then create export that is then imported to Zimbra. There is a third party tool but it can be hard to trust those. 

Feels like this should be easier. Kerio is a commonly used mail service but migrations are quite difficult. Someone on this list must have some magic ways to vanquish this need. 

Shy of an adequate export solution there is another idea that comes to mind. 

This customer did an IMAPsync to their Zimbra server and, since they can't import contacts from Kerio, they are wondering if it is possible to use command line tools to grab all the addresses in the To: field of all Sent mail to create an address book. They really need auto-complete to keep their users happy. He tried to re-index mailboxes but that does nothing to populate auto-complete or build the Emailed Contacts address book.

Any help is appreciated. 

Warm regards,

- John
