Typically I always associated Microsoft Transporter with Lotus Notes migrations to Exchange.

Coworker Britt Baubie pointed out that Microsoft updated the suite a few days ago and they now support migrating non-Lotus POP3 and IMAP servers to Exchange 2007.

As seen in the release notes here, here are the details:

Transporter Suite for Internet Mailboxes
A whole new console and tools for migrating POP/IMAP Mailboxes

Migration of mailbox content from generic servers through POP or IMAP to Exchange 2007.
Preserves all messages and folder structures.
Preserves rich content including formatting, message flags and even calendaring through iCAL.
Exposed through GUI and a rich set of PowerShell tasks

It looks like migrating to Exchange 2007 just got easier for a lot of software packages.

Thanks to the author of the program leaving a note on my original HOWTO blog post on custom presence. You can check out the program here.

If you are unsure of what I am talking about, read my original post.

Microsoft headsets and webcams are optimized for Windows Live Messenger through the Call Button. Until now, there has not been a simple means to configure the Call Button to start Office Communicator. The goal of the Call Button Integration Support kit is to change that.

By setting a Group Policy (or registry setting) and installing the kit, Microsoft headsets and webcams can be set up to start Office Communicator instead of Windows Live Messenger.

The kit is intended for use by workgroup or enterprise administrators in organizations that are using Office Communications Server 2007 and Office Communicator 2007.

The kit enables an organization-wide change in the configuration of Microsoft LifeChat (headset) and LifeCam (webcam) software so that the Call Buttons on the headsets and webcams start Office Communicator instead of Windows Live Messenger.

This kit requires the following Microsoft Hardware Product versions:
LifeChat v1.2 (headsets)
LifeCam v1.4 (webcams)

This kit requires Office Communicator 2007. Earlier versions of Office Communicator are not supported.
