In the hope that the OP was a little sloppy in his wording and he did in
fact mean Outlook Express then, yes, he can use Mail::Transport::Dbx
either directly or through Mail::Box. Those dbx files are OutlookX'
equivalents to the standard mbox format.
If he really meant Outlook, then he's out of luck (heh). I had a look at
the libpst (which is by the same authors as the libdbx used in
M::T::Dbx) but that rather put me off. Outlook's formats are infinitely
more complicated (there seem to be two versions of those living in
parallel even).
