    <p>I'm afraid it's not possible to migrate data to MS Exchange 2010 without changing the e-mail source. Exchange 2007 no longer stores the actual MIME data (which is the format you get from the IMAP server) and only re-constructs it on-demand. They only store what they call a "MIME Skeleton" - see this <a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrgeneral/thread/21adbe96-e21b-458a-8242-2c3894b9d7cf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MS forum</a>. What I have not found in that forum but observed myself is the that this reverse process doesn't usually produce a message identical to the original one - the <em>content</em> of MIME entities is unchanged, but its <em>structure</em> is often altered - different content-transfer-encodings are used, some headers or added or modified, and so on.</p> <p>At least that's how messages in user mailboxes are stored - but my guess is that it's the same for public folders. Also, it is possible (although unlikely) that Exchange 2010 behaves differently than Excahnge 2007.</p> <p>And while I'm not an expert on MAPI, I think that MIME format is not even used in it (Outlook can't even <em>save</em> a message in MIME format), which would make MAPI an unlikely solution for preserving the email source.</p> <p>So my advice is to do what you already tried - get the e-mail data from the IMAP server in MIME format and store it using Exchange Web Services. We are doing this to move e-mail messahgs from an IMAP server into Exchange 2007 user mailbox and never had any problems with broken e-mails (but then again we don't have 400GB of data).</p>
