Version 3.1.3 of the Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes tool is now available with the following improvements: - Empty folders in Notes are now created as labels in Apps. - Calendar migration performance is improved (as much as 50% faster in R3.1.3). - Added algorithms to compute values for missing fields on calendar events to improve calendar migration success rates. Previously, if a missing field meant that a valid recurrence rule could not be derived for an event, this would result in a migration failure. - Added support for old and alternate Notes names in Calendar migration. - Attachment repository URLs in migrated events now include web and Notes links. - Events with no subject are now migrated. - Mail migration now uses the original Message ID from Notes, where available. Previously, the apps domain name would be appended to the message ID value at migration time. - Resource email addresses are now editable in the tool. This is useful if resources were not created by the tool itself. - Phrase parts of email addresses are now removed during contacts migration. - Deprecated the ability to toggle the Folders Processed flag for one or more users. If this process needs to be run more than once for a single user, the admin must remove and re-register that user. - Calendar UID suffix field is now hidden. - Miscellaneous UI changesEditions included: Google Apps for Business, Government and EducationLanguages included: US English OnlyHow to access what's new: Download page For more information: Release notes New look on the way for Gmail, Calendar, Docs and Sites!
