how to migrate mail messagges from ms. exchange to postfix

how to migrate mail messagges from ms. exchange to postfix?
Hi, I have to migrate e-mail messagges from a ms exchange server to a postfix server.

I have found nothing, the only thing I have in mind is to use fetchmail on the postfix server to get the e-mail messagges from the ms exchange server.

Is this correct?

Are there other methods, like "copy" e-mail from one machine to the other?

Which format are the exchange e-mail stored in?

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what format Exchange uses to store emails, so I think fetchmail or getmail would be the best options.

Fetchmail can only be used for mail in transit, you need to use imapsync to do the migration it will preserve all the message flags.
