Re: Moving my Outlook PST file to any BSD E-mail client
Tom's Hardware wrote a good how-to on this for Linux. I am assuming the tool to convert outlook to evolution is in ports. If not you can install linux, savi the .pst file to a network share, then install BSD with evoltion and away you go. http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20040412/wintolinux-06.html On Sat, 10 Jul 2004 19:21:10 +0100, Kristian Holdich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I switched from Outlook to Evolution I imported via > Netscape/Mozilla Mail.

I recently migrated a friend's e-mail from Outlook [Distress?] to MacOS-X. I had a bit of handwork, but basically: 1) Exported the Outlook info in 'csv' format 2) Exported a sample address book as csv from my target (maybe the Mac mail reader - I don't remember, but anyway it's a system resource in MacOS-X: one address book seems to fit all clients) 3) Loaded both into a spreadsheet - probably StarOffice so try OpenOffice 4) Moved a few fields around so the Outlook export would match the target NOW: 5) Saved from the spreadsheet in Data Interchange Format 6) Slurped the *.dif into the new agent. There are scripts for much of this, but I was as well off 'by hand' for this one shot. You may be able to skip some steps depending on your source and target options.

Then you can just connect to the IMAP server with your new mail client to get at all your stuff. Agreed, this is probably the safest method. Rather than "temporary," why not just keep your email on the imap server? That way you can try lots of different email clients, as long as they support imap.

Only problem with it is the requirement that you still have Outlook installed and available. But it's by far the fastest and cleanest way I know.

We set up a temporary IMAP server, and used Outlook to copy all the mail and folders up to the IMAP server. Then you can just connect to the IMAP server with your new mail client to get at all your stuff. Another workaround - amplifying a suggestion by another poster. You're obviously running windows now. Install Mozilla, fire up the mail client, do NOT let it become the default mail application, go to tools - import and import your outlook mail, and addresses (this only works if Outlook is still the default mail application). Copy the whole mozilla profile - location depends on your version of windows to CD or whatever. Install mozilla on FreeBSD, fire it up (to create the ~/.mozilla tree), close it down, copy the folders and files from inside the .slt folder from windows to inside the .slt folder in .mozilla/profilename/ Peter. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Question As my previous email client, I used Microsoft Outlook. How can I import my old email and contacts from Outlook? Answer Evolution cannot import these files directly into Evolution because the .pst format is a proprietary format, and access to it requires the use of the MAPI.DLL library, which can only be read by applications running in Windows. However, there are two applications that can convert the files for you: Outport and Mozilla. You will be running these applications under Windows and we cannot guarantee that they will work, nor can we support them. You can also export address information to CSV format and then convert it to a format that Evolution understands.
