RE: [Evolution] transferring email repositories between evolutionand outlook

Thanks for your msg.

I'm wondering whether it's possible / feasable to Ximian to hack the
Outlook files in a similar way that you apparantly did for the exchange
hook?

Anyway, tnx for the info.  I'll probably just throw away the msg store
when I get back to Evolution.

The best way (i think) is if they've enabled imap access to exchange,
then you can just connect to it using imap, and copy the messages off.

Evolution cannot import outlook personal folder files, as they are in an
unpublished, proprietry format.
