Last time I tried to import a PST file (half a year ago or so), I ran into some problems with contacts, especially when they were split across several folders. Files attached to contacts would be lost, as well, but that's just because Evolution's data model doesn't support them, I guess. Mind you, it was a friend's PST file: I'd love to break him off from Outlook, but he's got this CRM-like workflow that I can't duplicate in Evolution :-/. He attaches invoices and all relevant documents to each contact, so his PSTs get really big: last time I checked it was like 1.2GB.

Re: [Evolution] PST interoperability
Hey Pete, The only reason I find that as such a critical feature is because it is the last big hurdle to breaking MS Office dependency, since most Office users already have a large archive of emails stored up in PST files. Also although you can install Office on Linux using Wine (via PlayonLinux), Outlook doesn't work.

Re: [Evolution] PST interoperability
Hi everyone, Sorry, didn't realise Evolution had support for this already, this is fantastic news. The last time I checked - admittedly this was in Ubuntu 9.04 - the only way to impost PST files was through the Windows version of Thunderbird. This feature should be more widely advertised, since this is regarded by many as the final hurdle to breaking MS Office dependence for new users coming from a Windows environment.

That attitude just about sums up your ignorance of the free software development process. Don't you realize that the users *are* the QA? Please confine your remarks to Evolution.
