Hi Guys, I found a debian utility called readpst which converts unencrypted Outlook PST files to mbox format. I managed to compile it on my SuSE machine and it works pretty well converting about %99+ of mail properly. I then wrote a perl script that moves the extracted mbox directory tree into the Evolution type of heirarchy (using subfolders dirs) from the extracted mboxes. It was a bit tricky to get the recursion algorithm right. I also had to copy a few empty Evolution index files into each of the directories containing an mbox for it to work. Anyway, it works pretty well. For other Oulook content such as calendars the Outport program seems to work OK.
