There is another option, as well. Get a copy of Eudora (not Eudora Lite) and convert
them through there. I did this some time ago. So, I don't remember all the details.
But Eudora (and I just downloaded a trial version rather than buying it) will convert
the Outlook .pst to standard mail format which is what Mutt reads.
Let me know if I can do anything to help with this.
