How to import OUTLOOK PST files


Recommended Posts

Hello, i'm totally new to the Linux world.

I've installed Mandrake 10.0 and now i have to deal with all the software installed in my computer, finding which one is the best and removing the other ones.

As for the web browser, i chose Konqueror which looks useful (i was on Crazybrowser in windows).

As for the email manager, i have Evolution and Kontact, but none seems to import Outlook PST files.

I HAVE to recover my contacts and emails from windows. Is there any way?

I did this once a long time ago, when I first started migrating away from Windows.... It wasn't easy, but not too tough, if I recall correctly.

First thing is, I don't think there is a *direct* import for Outlook. However, you can EXPORT your Outlook info into a specific file format, I believe, and you will be able to use that to import. Check on your Outlook export options, first, and google to see if there is a way to import that in Linux.

I think Mozilla mail will import Outlook files. I know Evolution won't. But if you can import it into Mozilla mail, you can export it out of Mozilla mail into some other format that your email client WILL import.
