Peter - No way to get your mail to Evolution directly from Outlook.  PST
stands for 'Proprietary Storage Type', by Microsoft.

Here is what I would do:

Set up an IMAP server.  Copy all your data from the PST file (From
Outlook) to the IMAP server.  Copy your contacts as well.

Open Evolution against the IMAP server, pull down your email and your
contacts. 

The Conduits *should* be working, from what I've read.
