Re: [Evolution] importing from outlook .pst files

[Peter Stokes <peter ashlyn co uk>]

Hi

Missed the original post, but I went through the exact same requirement

The trick is to use Netscape loaded onto a PC and import into that, then
copy over to Evolution.

It worked for me with a few thousand emails.
