[SLUG] Help I'm MS bound and I'm feeling down
Hi All, Has anyone been able to import .PST files from Outlook to another email client. I have searched the web, a file called LibPST is available somewhere. (sourceforge is not searching ) Any one got any suggestions. cheers Mark -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Has anyone been able to import .PST files from Outlook to another email client. I can't remember if they were .pst files (what version of outlook is it?), but I have been able to import outlook files into kmail before (~12 months ago). kmail turned them into a more linux friendly format (mbox I think) that I could use to import into the client I really wanted them in (evolution for the g/f). At the time I couldn't work out how to do it with evolution directly however it may be able to do it on it's own now. So suggestion is:- make a copy of the files onto your linux box, check whether your client has an import outlook option, if not, cross your fingers and try importing into kmail. From there you should be able to massage them into whichever client is your preference. ***Confidentiality and Privilege Notice*** This email is intended only to be read or used by the addressee.

quote who=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone been able to import .PST files from Outlook to another email client. There are a few Windows-based tools that will export your Outlook stuff into more useful formats (such as mbox, iCal, etc). You can also use Mozilla mail to import the Outlook stuff - Mozilla uses standard mbox files. - Jeff -- ... *bounce*bounce*bounce* -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Check out outport at sourceforge. It runs in windows and creates iCalendar compatible format files. These are perfect for evolution. I ran it last week on a client's outlook 2000 enabled PC. Worked well except for repeating events. http://sourceforge.net/projects/outport Stu On Wed, 2003-03-05 at 11:48, Jeff Waugh wrote: quote who=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone been able to import .PST files from Outlook to another email client.

there is a tool on sourceforge that will allow you to open and export pst files to plain text files. it works well.

I mucked around with other options for a while and ran into too many glitches. Outlook crashed on me several times before I had it all done, but was generally much easier to use this imap approach. I think that the University of Washington IMAP server while it has security issues (read any file as a logged in user) probably does allow you to just dump your mail straight into mbox files rather than having to do a second imap transfer to get your files to a usable form on your linux box.
