The least costly way is if you have access to Outlook Explorer.
You can use the Import Wizard of OE (File-Import-Messages) from the
pst-file. From there, it should be possible to import them into TB using
TB's Mailbox Import Wizard (Tools-Import Messages-Mailbox Import
Wizard).

If that doesn't work, there are pay-tools such as Aid4Mail
http://www.aid4mail.com or MailNavigator

Importing from archived of .msg files

2005-07-27 Thread Paul Meathrel
Hi all,

I have a really old file ('95) with the extension .pst which I would like to 
importing into TB. The file is text and if I open it in a text editor I can see 
that it is a bunch of mail messages (in .msg/.eml format) separated by a dot. 
So the format looks like this:

Mail message (.msg)
.
Mail message (.msg)
.
Mail message (.msg)
.
etc

I can import the messages if I split them out into individual files saving as 
.msg as I go. However this will take forever to do unless I can find a way to 
import it automatically. I've tried to use the import wizard using UNIX format, 
however this says no messages imported. Does anyone have any ideas about how I 
could achieve this?

Try http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Outlook-to-Unix-Mailbox.html

If that doesn't work, send my the PST file and I can write a program
to convert it to a Unix mailbox (maybe).
