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
or MailNavigator

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).
