The solution from Novell's Evolution documentation :
http://www.novell.com/documentation/evolution24/index.html?page=/documenta
tion/evolution24/evolution24/data/outlook-migration-mail.html

My usual solution is to use an IMAP server as a temporary repository :
- Create an IMAP account somewhere with sufficient space for all the mail
that will be migrated and a comfortable transfer speed.
- Open that IMAP account in Outlook
- Copy all the mail from Outlook's .pst folders to the IMAP account. The
whole folder tree can move with just one drag and drop action.
- Close Outlook, open Evolution.
- Open the IMAP account in Evolution.
- Keep the mail in the IMAP account or do whatever you want with it within
Evolution.
