Paul Mooney does a nice synopsis here of the presentation

Send me an email: jpaganet@us.ibm.com and I'll send you the presentation if you want

Several options are discussed in presentation

e.g. You can do yourself using the convert task on the server in an efficient manner

or you could use Seamless Mail Upgrade in conjunction with Smart Upgrade

Seamless mail upgrade is configured on the Basic's Tab of a Desktop Settings Policy - I'm sure documented in detail somewhere but I can't find right now
