A few weeks ago, there was some discussion on how one can import Outlook
.pst files into Evolution / mbox format.

I found a program that appears to do the worst of the task.

It isn't perfect - it has some troubles with parsing mime formats - and
ends up bringing in unformatted text some of the time, but when compared
with having a useless CD with all your .pst info, this is certainly a
better option.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ol2mbox - has the sources for K-DBX and
libDBX (both for importing Outlook Express dbx files) and libpst (for
importing .pst files).

Just download "libpst", untar it, "make" it, and then run "./readpst
<pst filename>".

It does the rest.

Also, by adding a "-k" to the command - ./readpst -k <.pst file name>,
you can convert into a standard KMail format.
