Turn on the IMAP server in exchange,
Twas always thus, I've not read mail from a Windows machine in several years so IMAP was enabled as soon as the server went in!
grant a user access to all the mailboxes,
This bit has me a bit stuck, I tend to think of mailboxes as having a 1:1 mapping with users. How do I give one user access to multiple mailboxes?
I'm assuming there's a magic way to do it in exchange... Maybe Wayne will know how... he loves exchange and can probably give you info ;)
use offlineimap to download all the mail somewhere else in to a maildir structure, rejoice.
offlineimap looks like a nice tool and probably useful for me now that I'm using Google Apps too, although as I use Thunderbird as a mail reader I'm not sure I can get away without also installing a local imap server (which isn't really an issue if I have to). I'll investigate.
It's rather handy, not sure that thunderbadger will let you talk directly to a maildir, but mutt does. :)
