[Evolution] couple migration questions: MSExchange and ACT!

["Daniel E. Jackson" <dejackson encomia com>]

This is a product with great legs.  I really like it a lot.

We have a dev staff that mostly uses Solaris and Linux, and a sales 
staff that (ugh) uses ACT! and MSoutlook.  ACT is terrible but there are 
few replacements out there that provide the functionality.
Q:  Is there (or planned) the ability to directly import *.pst files?
(MSEchange mailboxes and backups)  This would allow importation of 
calendar and personal contact info, address books and such.  Yes, I know 
I can shift email to Outlook Express and import that way,(email only) or 
do the IMAP server thing (again email only), but there oughta be a way...

Q:  For the contact info, what is the format/location of the datafile?
I would really like to ditch ACT! and this looks like a suitable
replacement short of writing my own database/frontend.  It would be 
really nice if I could point the contact info at a central database.

I tried out the idea of switching to linux on my salescritters, they 
liked the clean interface of GNOME a lot.  The only concern was a 
replacement for ACT.  Needless to say, it wasn't a hard sell for the 
developers...
