Re: [Evolution] Moving form M$ Outlook to Evo
Thunderbird can do a pretty good job of getting your email out of outlook. But, I would probably not do this to your wife. I have so many problems with evolution hanging, filters not working etc. that I would never give myself a headache like this by giving it to my wife. She would be calling me 12 times a day asking what it means that evolution lost connection to the backend process, or why can't it display the message etc. I myself have switched over to my Mac for the majority of my mailing duties or running VMware under Linux again because I have become so frustrated with evolutions bad behavior and lack of any hope in it getting better.

I've been told that this is not the best approach, but I converted all my email from Outlook to Netscape, then imported everything I could from there. I am not certain that this actually worked on ALL of my email, but the ones that I originally thought were missing eventually turned up later, so this is one possibility. I've also been told that using Thunderbird as the intermediary is another, better choice (I don' use Thunderbird). There are probably others, including IMAP transfer, but I don't know how to do that (yet). mhr ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Moving form M$ Outlook to Evo
Hi Chris, Currently Evolution does not support importing PST files generated by Outlook 2003 directly. However follow this link for a workaround. http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can_I_migrate_my_mail_from_Outlook_to_Evolution.3F PST Import for Evolution is a feature currently under development.

I have three ideas, depending on what works for you: * If you have access to an exchange server, move her outlook account there and evo accesses it without changes. She can go back to outlook if she needs it for something evo won't do. * If you have a palm pda, sync the outlook data there. Then sync back to evo using the evo-palm conduits for gnome-pilot * export to ical/vcal/vcard and import into evo. * Also some tedious and probably flawed CSV solutions. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Philadelphia, PA 19144www.rhd.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
